By Dan Justik
The Daily Dawg Tags brings you all the Cleveland Browns news that you need to know, including determining when the coaching staff dysfunction started.
When the Cleveland Browns hired Todd Haley as the offensive coordinator and had him take over play-calling duties, many wondered if he and Hue Jackson could coexist.
Jackson has always been a prideful coach, and him giving up calling the plays on the offensive side of the ball was going to be tough for him to do.
Their relationship took a hit when Jackson publicly said that he needed to become more involved in the offense, and the story blew up leading into the Steelers game.

"Jackson is feeling the pressure to win. Now Haley is feeling the pressure to listen. If something doesn’t bridge those two realities, everyone on the coaching staff is going to end up getting fired. Again."
When Haley called out how Jackson ran his practices during one of the first episodes of Hard Knocks, many people wanted to say that these conversations are common and it was not a big deal. But it is apparent that Haley and Jackson really did not have a great relationship from the start.

Baker Mayfield paying a price for young offense’s growing pains – Dan Graziano, ESPN
"Mayfield was the 12th Browns starting quarterback since 2003 to try and fail to win a game in this town. And this loss was painful — not just missed-opportunity painful or disappointing-painful but physically painful."
These types of games are why people had reservations of starting Baker Mayfield as a rookie. The Browns are still a young team with a lot of holes, and it can put Mayfield at risk of injuring himself or creating bad habits.
