If Lazor is out and Zac is the pick, they will likely go with his brother Press Taylor (who has worked wonders with Wentz and Foles) Who I have no problem with him bringing with him.

If we are going to say qualified what has Taylor done that qualifies him as a Head Coach...

I would keep interviewing for a job regardless until I hear from a team

Taylor HC, Press OC, Joseph DC


Well Taylor is a great communicator and works well with players and has a great head on his shoulders.

I would take him over a guy like Joseph who has not faired well as a HC. Don't know whether that is on their GM or not but a good HC is what we need and it is not like we have been a great organization that makes all the right moves, we need a coach that can coach through adversity.

I say go with the young guy that McVay touts up so highly over Joseph.

I want an up and coming, creative, aggressive HC here.

I'm not trying to be a downer but the year he was at UC the offense wasn't that good and seemed to make a lot of mistakes. Did he call plays for the Rams? I really would like to know what everyone sees in him.

I am not saying not hire him but what I am saying is Joseph is qualified to hire also as a Head Coach even if he is not your choice

That may be the only announcement. Unless Hue is promoted - which could happen.

I believe that the

HC is going to be Beinemy for four years
OC is going to be Taylor for two years
DC is going to be Joseph for two years

I believe all three have agreed to come to Cincinnati and even have contracts signed so no one will be backing out.

This is just a gut feeling, I have no rhyme or reason for this.

Yeah, McVay had nothing but great things to say about the guy, he is young and i found it pretty amazing how much Goff improved under him since his rookie year. McVay also said he did a lot more in LA than just coach up Goff too. Gained a ton of experience there since he was OC of the Bearcats.

Some of these other interviews, may be coordinator positions that have already been discussed with the soon to be HC.  A guy can hope anyway.....

I was with you on your previous post and now you think they would wait this long to announce an inside hire after they interviewed a bunch of outside candidates and even flew out to LA to interview Taylor and Waldron?

I don't think it will be an inside hire at all, this would just keep the stadium empty and pretty much destroy the franchise. From all the moves they have made over the last year or so i don't see them committing bidness suicide at this time.
