Marvin Lewis is tired of questions about Hue Jackson.

It’s Battle of Ohio Week for Lewis’ Cincinnati Bengals as they get ready to host the Cleveland Browns. Meaning, questions about Jackson are perfectly relevant.

Reporters tried to do their job and got shot down, though:

Marvin Lewis on how Hue Jackson could help: "This game is about the Browns and not about Hue. I think I've answered enough Hue questions, OK? We're done. Over. You asked me Hue questions on Monday. We're good. Let's get to the Cleveland Browns. Anything else on the Browns?" — Katherine Terrell (@Kat_Terrell) November 21, 2018

It’s an odd stance for Lewis to take, even if we take out the fact Jackson is now on the opposite sideline of the team that just fired him.

But take it out anyway. We’re still talking about Lewis hiring his friend on a cheap contract despite his spectacular failure as a head coach. That friend was involved in a meeting with Lewis and team owner Mike Brown about eventually becoming Bengals head coach. He’s already sworn to reporters he’s “not here for anyone’s job.”

Now feel free to add back in the fact Jackson is the former Browns head coach. He’s the biggest storyline about the game for obvious reasons, even if what he can offer the Bengals about his former team is tiny at best.

So no, the Jackson questions shouldn’t stop — and Lewis and the Bengals had to know they were coming when they made the move we all knew was coming.
