When I used to hear how he "didn't interview well", or some BS about how he called a spade a spade (or in the case of the former Louisville coach, a jackass a jackass) it always made me feel sick. Rationalize the decision not to hire him all you want, but i always thought that was a bunch of crap.

Nice to see he is getting the last laugh, although it was more than a little disconcerting when that FG that was closer than an extra point was missed, dropping them out of the playoffs.

He will always be a part of the Mount Rushmore of "When The Bengals Turned Into Winners".

I agree.... I was afraid of losing him after his first season in Cincinnati. I don't think it was bad interviews so much as his very gruff exterior. I don't think there is a shred of "yes man" in him. Your spade comment is spot on. Do you remember when he had Tank Johnson in his office the first time they were on Hard Knocks? That's how you give a grown man a talkin to. Tank completely responded to it too. Great coach. Great leader in general.
