Have a source?

Guess the money wasn't there. Can't think of anything else. We wanted him and he was willing to interview. 

He makes good scratch at Florida, so I knew this looked iffy. Still, it's a bad look that so many have turned us down.

Makes me wonder if Mikey is cheaping out on the staff, knowing that fans will probably be stoked simply because Marv is gone.

Glass half empty aside...Glass half full says we interviewed him and were not impressed. 

Good work here by Harrison. DC Todd Grantham to stay at Florida https://t.co/EHP33xPopY

Sure, I'll come to Cincinnati, where the need to fill the job grows stronger every day, jack you around for two days and then turn you down.

Have fun hoping to be the third best team in the SEC, Asshat.

So what do we do now? Run back to Aubrey Pleasant after clearly wanting Grantham over him?

This is turning into a mess.

Just like with JDR, Capers and Pleasant? I guess our standards are so high that we're running out of candidates.

Well, for one thing, they need to start keeping their damn mouths shut about what the hell they're doing.  Who keeps leaking all this shit out there anyway?  Whoever these "sources" are need to have their asses fired.  What's with the making everything public bullshit?

Go get Manuel and be done with it.  This is a mess on roids.

Of course this thread is about none of those folks.

I have a theory (aside from Mike being cheap) on why this search has been such a struggle. Taylor has said repetitively that the Bengals respected the Rams and didn't talk to Taylor again til after the Super Bowl. What if this is true, and the Dolphins didn't have the same respect for the Patriots? That could be why he filled out his staff so quickly, while we seem to have struggled...particularly with the DC hire.

Not hard to figure out why each of those folks would be relevant to the topic.

Which is Grantham. Who has now turned us down just as the others, sans Pleasant.

Who down there at PBS has the big mouth?  Having it all be so public is what is making it all look so bad.

Also, INTERVIEW QUESTION NUMBER ONE---

IF YOU ARE OFFERED THE JOB, WILL YOU ***** TAKE IT?

It really is...two weeks until the combine and no defensive staff in place.

This is getting embarrassing...

Given the 2 biggest names available (Capers and JDR) sorta turned us down (aka I'm not interested), but let's not try so hard to be depressed. We had our mind set on one person for HC and we got him, we had our mind set on one guy for OC and got him. Folks might want to entertain the idea that we (Mikey, Katey, Zac) are not impressed with those we've brought in.

There is absolutely nothing embarrassing about interviewing and not coming to an agreement. We'll get an DC and it will be because of mutual interest.

The dude came up here knowing he was never gonna take the job. That is some bullshit right there. What, he wanted a free ride to come and experience the polar vortex for himself?

Not being impressed takes one day, not two. They didn't turn him down. He turned them down.
