The search appears over for HC

[Whatever]

If the guy they have locked in on is Taylor, Weldron, or Bienemy, they can't sign a contract until after their team has been eliminated from the playoffs.  The Chiefs and Rams are both legitimate SB contenders, and assistant staff options may be well picked over by the time they can make a HC hire.  Retaining the current staff until the hire is made gives the new coach more options.  

Also keep in mind that these guys aren't really being screwed by the Bengals due to the fact that coaching contracts are fully guaranteed.  They will get a check from the Bengals next year either way.
