Following a crushing Week 8 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cleveland Browns made the decision to pull the trigger on letting go of head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
It didn't take long for New England Patriots star wide receiver Josh Gordon to subtly give his take on the move, as he has reportedly liked at least three Instagram posts announcing the firings, according to Jordan Zirm of ESPN.

This presents some insight that Gordon wasn't exactly on the same page with Jackson or Haley during his time with them in Cleveland. He had gone through straightening his life out with his personal sobriety, but issues arose shortly after his return, as there were questions about his tardiness to meetings along with him getting hurt during a photo shoot that contributed to him being moved to the Patriots.
Things had seemingly gotten to the point where Jackson and the organization felt it was time to move on from Gordon. He has moved past the situation since, but this does display the level of dysfunction that may have been in place in Cleveland over the last few months, which has far exceeded the time that Haley was with the franchise.
The Browns struggled to find any type of consistent success with Jackson at the helm ,going 3-36-1 over 40 games that included going winless in the 2017 season while also failing to win a single road game. There were clearly many factors at play here for the franchise, but it's clear that shaking things up was long overdue.
