Hue Jackson initially agreed to talk with Mary Jo White for this investigation.  Then he never showed up.  He had his chance to say anything he wanted to and back it up. 

 

He had nothing.  Instead, the investigation confirmed he is the worst HC in NFL history--who didn't already know that?

 

OK.  Didn't know that he refused to cooperate.  In that case, Jackson only has himself to blame.

Jackson no doubt saw Flores's lawsuit as a great opportunity to rehab his coaching reputation, so he went all in guns blazing.  He claimed he took all kinds of money to throw games---he wasn't just an awful coach after all!! 

 

Someone must have puled him aside before sitting down for the investigation interview and alerted him he might be putting himself in legal jeopardy for claiming all that bribe taking.  Somehow Hue didn't read the part where Flores said he didn't take the money allegedly offered.

 

Jackson is a clown.

Just go with a draft lottery, it fixes the problem. It can be done like this

 

Lottery 1: Teams 1-5

Lottery 2: Teams 6-10

Lottery 3: Teams 11-18

All playoff teams 19-32 continue to be ordered based on playoff finish just like current system

 

The current system incentivizes losing

The NFL doesn't have a draft lottery because unlike in the NHL or NBA where top draft picks will almost always live up to expections, the NFL draft is absolutely full of busts.  Who are the top guys in the NHL?  Crosby, McDavid, Ovechkin, Matthews, who were all drafted first overall.  Burrow is the first #1 overall NFL pick who actually looks worth it since Luck way back in 2012.  For every Burrow there are three Jared Goffs, tanking in the NFL is a fool's errand because the draft is such an utter crapshoot.

Yeah, but the NFL isn't gonna wanna keep running into situations like this and like I said, it gives teams reasons to lose. That shouldn't happen
