The article talks about...
Del Rio was interested and Taylor didn't want him (would like to know more about that)
Capers was mutual decision not to move forward so any reports that he turned it down or passed on the actual job were just wrong
Dennis Allen of the Saints was the number one choice for Taylor but that was always a long shot
Vance Joseph interest from the Bengals organization but he took Arizona job early
Then Grantham was zeroed in on and the Bengals were offering a competitive salary but he chose to go back to Florida (some reasons being the old Defensive Line and worried about success switching to a 3-4)
***Those reasons were listed but who knows what the actual truth was for his decision. Still makes you wonder if they are going to let a new DC have a say in the personnel they have for this upcoming season or if they just expect them to make it work with the players under contract and whatever they add in the draft.
Good stuff, thanks. Whoever the new DC is he will need atleast one decent LB in FA and a good LB coach.
This is the most obvious weakness on Defense. The LB's are trash, or atleast they were under Haslett.
