If an assistant position coach gets a chance to move up to position coach, or a position coach gets the chance to move up to Coordinator, they are going to take it. Even if it means only one year, it's a chance for them they can succeed and excel in that position. If their group looks like it's improved, then regardless of team record that's a resume builder.

I agree the idea that young coaches will pass is lacking much logic . There is always a window  of advancing in coaching that window can close and most coaches look at it as stepping stone, resume builder for the future and many coaches in the league coach on losing teams but find jobs.

 Plus they are in win win situation,  they are on a bad team  so team is expected to be bad if their position group improves  it helps them regardless 

. finally for better or worse  the Bengals are one of the organizations that does not fire coaches quickly unlike some of the other bad teams that are still bad after multiple coaching changes through the past decade .
