So, let's all just take this nugget at the source.  Not credible.

If Hue comes in, I hope it is to help Marvin, now coaching the D because Austin fired.  I hope Hue stays out of Lazors way.  Marvin runs the D, Lazor runs the offense.   Hue helps Marvin head coach and run D as an assistant head coach to help throw challenge flags and decide what to do on 4th down.  Maybe to give insight on Browns who we still have 2 games with.  I'm all for Austin fired and it gives hope to still have 9 or 10 win season if Marvin turns D around a little. I could see Hue helping Marvin in an assistant head coach capacity during games as Marvin runs the D.  LET LAZOR RUN THE O.

Sure what it seems like.  It's hard to fathom that even THEY are THIS dumb.


Not so sure it's a joke!

I was actually surprised we made it thru the bye week with out bringing Hue back. I guess HJ needed another week to cry.

It's not. Completely different set of circumstances. He's not here for camp (or here last 3 years period), he doesn't know the offensive scheme, and is a worse in game manager than ML himself, which is no easy feat. 

It's funny you said anyone who thought we would bring in an outside person mid-season doesn't get business.....but here we are, getting an outside guy to come in mid-season. Rather fascinating way of using that logic, but ok. I think you meant to say only outside person who they bengals are familiar with, which is much closer to the truth.

While the defense is on the field Lewis is watching them and making calls.  He can talk with Jackson during that time about any coaching that needs to occur based on what he's seeing.  Jackson can coach the defense on those things during the next offensive series while Lewis is watching the offense.

Jackson and Lewis speak the same language and Jackson has coached all three phases with the team at one point or another.  What he's going to be dealing with will likely be fundamentals - which have been sorely lacking.

I'm not any more happy than anyone else about the possibility of a "succession plan" with Jackson but he makes absolute sense as someone who can come in and make Lewis as DC possible right now.

Find the hottest coordinator or someone from college, but ffs no promoting from within. I want them to clean house when Marvin finally walks away. Pipe dream, I know.

(11-13-2018, 01:46 PM)Benton Wrote: Pretty much.

I would add though that the Bengals have not approached coaching changes as other teams do. Hue failing completely in two attempts will likely hurt his chances of getting a shot anywhere but Cincinnati, where we have a head coach who would not be a head coach anywhere but Cincinnati.
