On February 17, 2012, Hue returned to the Cincinnati Bengals as assisting on special teams as well as an assistant defensive backs coach.

“After leaving the Raiders, it was tough,” Jackson said in an interview with ESPN in 2022. “I think any offensive coach, when you leave being a head coach, you normally think you have a chance to end up as a coordinator or position coach or whatever that is at best, but that wasn’t the case, so I had to go back to Cincinnati, Marvin Lewis — The Brown family kind of threw me a lifeline, gave me a chance to come back to Cincinnati. I worked on defense, coached on defense, coached special teams, and helped with secondary under Mike Zimmer and then worked my way back up.”

Cleveland Browns

In early 2016, Jackson was named head coach of the Cleveland Browns.

On October 29, 2018, the Cleveland Browns announced that they had fired Hue after a 3-36-1 record.

Gregg Williams was appointed as the interim coach.

“Let’s just be clear — I mean, we didn’t win enough,” Hue explained in early November 2018. “At the end of the day, when you look at it, we didn’t win enough games don’t matter how you cut it, regardless of what they said or how they said it, you got to win enough games. These jobs, there’s 32 of them, and I was fortunate and blessed by Dee and Jimmy to have the opportunity to be one of 32, but at the end of the day, when you look at it, you gotta win enough games, and we didn’t.”

On November 12, 2018, Jackson was appointed as special assistant to the head coach for The Cincinnati Bengals.
