CLEVELAND, Ohio -- At the end of the 2016 football season, Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson promised to plunge into Lake Erie if the team went 1-15 again in 2017. As seemingly everyone knows by now, the Browns did one "better" by finishing 0-16.

Jackson is set to fulfill his promise Friday at an unannounced time, but the coach will dive into much warmer waters than originally planned.

Initially, the jump was meant as a sort of punishment for the team's 1-31 record in two seasons, as the promised plunge was meant for frigid-cold, icy water in the mid-30s. But with a stent in his heart, Jackson was not allowed to jump into the painfully cold lake.

Instead, he will be greeted with 57-degree water off of Cleveland on Friday, and the air will be warmer in the 70s. Depending on what time he ends up starting the event, he could run into a scattered storm, too.

But Jackson isn't the only one jumping into the lake after an embarrassing season. To combat human trafficking in Northeast Ohio, Jackson is donating $100 to The Hue Jackson Foundation for every Browns employee who gets into the water with him, in what he marks as a "cleansing" event.
