I think there have also been moves made to purposefully tank at moments throughout his tenure as well (Andy benching, Joe Mixon sitting last year after being cleared, etc.)

Say what you will about his lackluster coaching, but he has assembled a good maybe even great core group of players here through the draft and free agency. He does well there IMO. He put himself behind the 8-ball with the 6-26 record, but all will be cleansed with a winning season this year. I hope he does it, I like him for the most part and I think he doesn’t get enough credit for how he’s acquired his roster.

That said, he can make massive improvements in certain areas of his coaching. Decisions line yesterday’s 4th down call are unforgivable and he needs to cut that crap out ASAP without losing that aggressive edge.

IDK I feel like stars align for the guy this year… maybe luck, maybe as planned. I just hope the Bengals have struck gold by pure chance.

For real though, I like his thinking in the post game presser....

If we get that 1st down, we can put the game away.  I have not watched the replay. But either the guard or tackle on the right side got pushed back and Mixon tried to cut outside and slipped.  Maybe an audible needed to be called there. We will never know.

Going for it is not something most want. But I can forgive him this time around.

(However, everything looks better after a win, haha)
