It's time to bring in fresh blood. Just be prepared to have a 3rd straight losing season and a team overhaul.

Marvin Lewis says he has made no decisions and any report he is going to walk away is not true. #bengals

It doesn't mean we don't "thank them" for their time. It means they are not part of our future.

It's possible M. Brown runs the organization mom and pop and the HC is responsible for 100 things at once. We will soon see where we end up, but it will be difficult to tell, as I don't think AJ Green and Andy Dalton will be a combination in a couple years.

At least he's given us time to prepare for bringing someone else in.

Loved this in the comment section from a Detroit fan:



So, who's with me for getting big Jim in here?

Also the assistants piping in about their pay?  Don't sign the contract if your not happy, geese give me a break....

All this is good news as it sounds like everyone will be gone!!!

Paul Guenther will either be the next Bengals head coach or be working for Washington. Gruden wanted him for his DC last year could not get out of his deal.

As long as he is still breathing, the Bengals are ******.

In my opinion, they really need to bring in someone from the outside.
