I just have to wonder,  is the guy they really one on another staff and just looking for a stop gap for this up coming season,  since they had a late start to this off season?   Could they be looking for a guy just to fill the job for 1 year at this point and go after their guy next off season?   If they tank this year they would also have a higher draft pick next year as well.  

I just would hate to think if this turns out as bad as it looks like it could,  and it not being planned this way,  that our new HC made some really bad judgement calls to start his tenure here.

Again what do I know compared to them,  they may know something we(or just me) don't know and we have or are going to have the staff of a future SB winner.

I just know 1 thing for a fact,  and that is I've been a Bengal fan for over 30 years  and in that time I've seen nothing but mediocre/poor teams ran here since Wyche left

It's been time for a change for quite some time,  but I was/am really hoping it for once to be to the better,  not to the worse.

I just hope our HC knows what he's doing in the bigger picture of it all.

I hear ya.....but to the bolded....I put up Sam's 1st staff in a thread about him here.  Nearly all of them were 1st timers, and Sam himself was a former QB coach who had never called plays at the NFL level.
