Well, that would probably mean that the majority of the staff returns, including Alexander...so, in my opinion, it's the complete opposite of what needs to happen.

I would take Marvin running the whole show if that meant Mike Brown wasn't running any of the show.

I used to be in the “Marv for GM” camp, but his whole dementor and style need to be removed from the franchise. Secondly, Marv has stated several times and as recently as two weeks ago he has no desire to work in a FO role. He sees himself as a coach and only wants to coach.

Not necessarily. We have no idea what Guenther or Simmons thinks about Alexander, or anyone else. Time would tell.....

We also don’t know what Marvin thought of him either. Did he have the say so to replace anyone on the staff? Or was that decision from above? I don’t know!

It always seemed like he could fire anyone he wanted but PA.

Does anyone know if this situation of the entire coaching staff contracts expiring at the end of the same season, happen before in team history? Is it common around the league? Could it mean bigger changes than just a HC?

You're assuming he wanted to.

But Marvin did fire 4 coordinators in his time here:  Frazier, Bresnahan, Bratkowski, and Zampeze.

Or was he finally allowed to fire them?

Well I think the only one that predated Marv was Bratkowski? The rest were his hires, so probably his choice to fire.

So, yes on Brat and no on the rest.

NO to pat shurmur and NO to Todd Haley

Those guys show no emotion. We need someone that gets into it!!

Brat was the only one he didn't hire. Mike has his guys don't fool yourself.

Marvin was once asked about retaining some of the offensive staff when he arrived, and he stated that he learned from Billick the value of retaining some of the existing staff on the opposite side of the ball from your expertise.  Don't think he didn't have the opportunity to replace him then.

Welcome new Bengals Head Coach, Larvin Mewis!!!!!

Would love this. Would be a bit worried if he overhauls the defense. But would love the offense with our guys.

I would like Matt Patricia

Am I the only one who hopes we go after Jack Del Rio?? Success with "small market" Jacksonville, turned around a blundering Raiders franchise only to get the shaft in favor of Jon Gruden

I'd be very happy with Del Rio... So, naturally, it likely won't happen    

Unless it also has Piano Man leaving the OL problems will persist.

100% in agreement with this statement. Alexander has to go

Maybe this is just posturing by both marvin and mike. Marvin trying to get more control and mike showing him he will go outside.
