I think it was pretty obvious that the Bengals needed to do a drastic coaching change and hire from outside. That said, in years past they didn't do this. So even though it was obviously needed, the fact that it happened is a big thing.

I just wonder why a guy like Pollack leaves like he did? He wasn't fired. Supposedly he wanted out.

IF we draft well this year and sign 2-3 quality free agents, we could be a playoff team.

Yes sir.  Even when they hired Marvin, they stuck him with the cockroach OL coach, and several others.  This time, it was as close to a complete house cleaning as you'll usually see for any team, let alone this one.

The Pollack deal is a bit of a head scratcher.  Maybe he felt like he would be undermined here, somehow, or just didn't want to coach under such a young HC.  I dunno, did he have any relationship to Adam Gase previously?  

The 2-3 quality FAs will be key, will they do it is the next big question we'll have to wait and see be answered.
