Offensive Line Coach. all other coaches....I hope people understand how critical these moves are, more so than the draft....more so than the draft.....I point to Patriots coaching to show that it all starts with the right coaches, and the right system....I'M HOPING Bengals put together a Super Bowl Coaching Staff. ...I fear Mike Brown and Tobin and these front office clunkers will decide to call all the shots and remain too many cooks stirring the pot. ...I would LOVE Mike Brown and Tobin to back off and let these coaches bring in their own coaches for the first time ever.

Again, these coaching moves now are HUGE and decide Super Bowl or Toilet Bowl....The Great Teams have Great Coaches. ...and it all comes together in a great system...Very possible one of these coaches replaces Marvin if the system is winning games.

He ain't leaving.

This year shown me what Paulie G could do and it was have his talented D get ran all over...

Kind of makes you wonder about hiring any DC for HC especially in the passing league this has become.

I know Rex did okay with those Jets. But still not a good HC either.


Please no, i want Del Rio man. This would blow IMHO.

I have a feeling Marvin is on the phone with his old Ravens buddy Jack Del Rio as we speak. I can’t imagine anyone not being stoked to come to Cincinnati and coach Geno Atkins, Vontaze Burfict, and William Jackson III.

He was a terrible DC in DC.

As I mentioned above, I'm also aware of Mikey B's track record when it comes to hiring coaches. 
I'd love to bring in JDR or Spags. But I'm not getting my hopes up for someone outside the organization. 
Hopefully, when it comes to the DC, we're all pleasantly surprised like with Paul Alexander finally getting the boot.  :andy:

Thankfully PA did get the boot brother, great seeing you around.

And then you realize the more likely scenario is that PA is the sacrificial lamb, the scapegoat, the bone thrown to the paying public before they all run away and then it's back to business as usual.  

Eh, one or the other.
