Grambling State Fires Former Bengals Offensive Coordinator From Head Coaching Role

Former Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson was fired as the head coach of Grambling State this week.

Jackson went 8-14 in two seasons at Grambling State.

"We want to thank Coach Jackson on his contributions to the GSU football program," athletic director Trayvean Scott said in a statement. "We wish him well in all his future endeavors. This was not an easy decision to make but one that we felt was necessary to move our program forward. The goal at GSU is to compete for championships every year. As we move forward, we will be intentional in finding the right person to lead this program back to its rightful place as one of the top programs in the country."

Jackson was the Bengals OC from 2014-15 before taking the head coach role with the Cleveland Browns from 2016-18.
