Tobin has been here 21 and while he's certainly entrenched, Alexander being fired shows it can happen. I really hate the narrative that the Brown family won't fire anyone, and that they refuse to change anything ever. They move at a painfully glacial pace usually, and they keep players and coaches past the time they should often, but it's not the only way they operate. So let me sit on a shred on optimism that Tobin and Taylor will be gone, and we'll bring in a duo to replace them.
And if they didn't, it's still within the realm of possibility they could bring in a guy as an advisor (I'm not going to even remark on the Kushner thing...) to assist whoever is still there.
There are lots of options, and I'm not going to close the door on any of them being a possibility, even if zero changes are made to the staff this offseason. I've been a Bengals fan way too long; being optimistic is just part of my DNA and why I come back to the madness year after year!
will be hard to find someone to take the GM position without the title like duke has been doing for years.
