I don't remember a season when both the Reds and Bengals changed nearly their entire staffs in the same year. I don't want to say it's a given both teams will be championship bound, but it would be something if it actually happened. The odds aren't real great, but stranger things have happened. I think they're up against the trillionaire class, but hopefully not impossible that we could be seeing a complete resurgence of both professional teams in Cincinnati.

It is refreshing for sure.  I can see the Reds reaching .500 maybe 85 wins, which is pretty good considering last year.  Bengals, still have a lot of holes to fill. But if they address linebacker, OL, and maybe TE, they will be decent.  It is nice that both teams changed entire staff.  I cannot remember this happening before.  

I can see both teams being more competitive next season. Just how far they can take it up in one off season ?

1st time ever the Reds and Bengals both finished last in the same year

I was gonna start a thread like this a couple of weeks ago. It’s been awhile since I’ve been excited about both organizations at the same time.

There is optimism every time a new manager takes over. Optimism does not necessarily equate to wins. We'll see.

True, the Reds have had about 5-6 possible and maybe even probable upgrades to the roster also though.
