Back in March, Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson called Baker Mayfield the “Pied Piper of Oklahoma football,” an honorific he typically reserves for defensive coordinators, Andy Dalton, and, uh, Charlie Whitehurst.

“I feel like he’s a Pied Piper of Oklahoma football,” said Jackson. “When he walked into the building, he made this sound -- kind of went ‘Hee Hee’ -- and all the players in the building started going ‘Hee Hee’ and here we go. Most unbelievable thing I’ve ever seen. That shows you something about what he means to young men and how he leads them.”

The bad news is “Hee Hee” isn’t exactly a rallying cry. The good news is it’s way, way better than “0-16.” So does Jackson’s odd quote deserve full meme treatment? You be the judge:
