I think the problem is the other thing you mention: poor planning partially caused by not talking to Taylor til after the Super Bowl. Taylor setting his heart on an already employed Dennis Allen probably hurt us as well.

I do think that it's starting to look like his inexperience is a problem and established guys may see that too.

On the Turner hire...maybe that's a hire we announce last. That was bad PR all the way.

Callahan? I'm willing to give him a chance I suppose.

I'm reading some that the perception of the Bengals front office is causing guys to steer clear now that Marvin is gone.

Perceptions were much worse in 2003 when we hired Marvin Lewis and interviewed big names like Coughlin and Denny Green.

Next up is Aaron Glenn on NOT coming to Bengals. Also Kim Jong Un just refused Bengals Defensive Coordinator job. Congress and Trump finally agree on something, none of them want Bengals Defensive Coordinator job. Homeless walk the streets with signs saying, " Will Work For Food, Will Not Work For Mike Brown ".

He had one bad season and that was do to injury this past season and he wasn't calling the plays in the Superbowl Quinn was.
