We are gonna have to dig deep and look for some young talent.

Are we aware of our history? This guy has twice as many playoff wins (in 12 years) as the Bengals do in their 50 year history.

I don't think he would have ever considered here, but it was a nice thought for a while. Better than him going to Cleveland and possibly whooping up on us lol.

Romeo Crennel
Charlie Weis
Bill O'Brien is "ok"
Matt Patricia
Eric Mangini
Josh McDaniels himself

When has the Belichick tree ever produced any great coaches? McDaniels was awful with the Broncos. After a 6-0 start, his teams went 6-20. He traded multiple picks to move up and take Tim Tebow with a 1st round pick. He was busted for spying in Denver, which brought shame to the organization. Then he backed out of a handshake agreement with the Colts, which embarrassed them as well. 

This guy is an egomaniac and he's already proven his word can't be trusted. Not to mention he's a poor talent evaluator and a proven cheat with a bad record as HC.

Bring their coach here and I doubt he can rebuild that system here.

In the NFL...you just don't see bad teams make the playoffs. It doesn't happen.

You might see an average team make it and win a round, but you don't see poor rosters win.

(12-04-2018, 02:27 PM)Shake n Blake Wrote: Agree with you, but my overall point is that people hire these NE coaches hoping for some Belichick magic to rub off, but there is only 1 Belichick.

McDaniels was awful in Denver, and they were/are a better organization than the Bengals. Plus the guy is a snake.

"The Bengals need a full-staff coaching reboot, fumigating team headquarters so Hue Jackson doesn't hide in the ductwork and emerge as the head coach somehow. Hiring McCarthy would signal a new direction for an organization whose emphasis on continuity at all costs has made them the knockoff Packers, with all of the predictability but none of the success.

The image of Andy Dalton running Rodgers' offense should send a shudder down your spine—he would endure six sacks and underthrow three passes per game for interceptions before getting injured—but again, we're assuming that McCarthy retools/modernizes/does something besides mimeograph 2011 game plans to his scheme. And if you are thinking about a Bengals future involving Dalton, you aren't thinking about the Bengals' future. McCarthy's task in Cincinnati would be to acquire and develop a new quarterback."
