Romeo Crennel, Charlie Weiss, Eric Mangini, and Josh McDaniels all were mediocre at best.
Arians has done well for the most part with Arizona and his interim gig with Indy since leaving Pittsburgh.
Todd Haley might be a hot name but he came under Tomlin after being fired as HC of the Chiefs. He was 19-26 with the Chiefs. He's had success as an OC but he's had one HOF QB (Warner) and another destined HOF QB (Roethlisberger) while being OC.
Would Keith Butler ever consider being a HC? He had been the Steelers' LB coach for 12 years before taking over as DC and has made their defense formidable again. But he's 61 years old, so he might be a lifer with Pittsburgh at this point.
Todd Haley's personality would NEVER work here. NEVER. The Bengals would NEVER consider hiring him.
As much as it sucks, I think you'll see someone with ties to here: Simmons, Haslett, Vance Johnson, Jay Gruden, Hue Jackson, or Guenther.
IF I had to handicap it, I'd say Jackson if he is fired by the Browns then Guenther.
