Hue Jackson

Hue Jackson, who is in his second year as quarterbacks coach for the Ravens, made an immediate impact in Baltimore, guiding rookie QB Joe Flacco in 2008. Flacco became the first rookie QB to win two playoff games and also won the Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Year Award via an NFL.com fan vote. The versatile Jackson has built an impressive resume over the course of his 24-year coaching career. He served as offensive coordinator for two NFL teams (Atlanta - 2007 and Washington - 2003) and two NCAA teams (USC - 1997-2000 and California - 1996). Under Hue’s tenure in Cincinnati (2004-06), Chad Ochocinco and T.J. Houshmandzadeh became one of the most prolific wide-receiving tandems in Bengals and NFL history.
