CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have hired Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson as their new coach. The 50-year-old replaces the fired Mike Pettine, who was let go after two losing seasons.

Jackson becomes the eighth coach for the team since it re-entered the NFL as an expansion club in 1999.

Jackson was previously Oakland's head coach, and has a strong record of working with quarterbacks.
