45% chance that Marv is back.
50% that Guenther or a current staff member is next HC
5% that we hire some unexciting external candidate (including former Bengal coaches).
0% that we get a great candidate and let him build his staff.
100% chance that the Bengals gonna Bengal.

Pretty much agree.

This is my take FWIW:

I think Marvin may actually be done, now whether it's a mutual parting, Marvin is just wore out, or Mike finally sees he needs to change ?

Anyways: Most likely outcome - inside hire, (Guenther, Simmons) now that it seems Jackson and Gruden are off the table. Most if not all of the rest of the staff will stay intact. They may change OC's ?

Outside hire - very low chance and if it would happen it will be some uninspiring, cheap, pick. They will get little to no choice in coaching staff etc.

outlier - Marvin comes back, totally wouldn't rule it out.

I keep hoping and praying Mike is gonna retire and turn over to Katie and we'll have some hope of hiring a real GM and coaching staff. It's nice to dream.
