College Coaches - hotweales - 01-07-2019
I am really hoping that the Bengals go outside of the box and hire a College Head Coach. College Coaches have as much if not more responsibility as an NFL Coach. There are some good candidates in the College ranks
Jimbo Fisher
Dabo Sweeny
David Shaw
Jim Harbaugh
Just to name a few. Just wondering why we have not heard of any College Coaches scheduled for interviews.
What say you?
Anyone else think the Bengals would be better served with a College guy?

Nope, to much transition dealing with filty rich professional athletes as opposed to students.

At this point in time, I am open to anything.

I don't know, lots of great college coaches fail in the NFL for whatever reason...
Saban might be the best college coach of all time and he failed in the NFL.

Josh McDaniel just declined to interview with the Bengals!
RE: College Coaches - pally - 01-07-2019
There have been few successful jumps for head coaches from the college ranks to the Pros. The ones who were successful generally had NFL experience as a player or at the assistant level first. The transition isn't nearly as straightforward as it should seem.

I think any coach that is perennially in the CFP should just stick where they are at...they are very likely not going to get a better gig than what they have.
I think coaches that should/would consider are those that keep doing well in college but not quite getting into the CFP.
David Shaw and Jim Harbaugh are good candidates, although might need to remove Harbaugh since he no longer has to worry about Urban Meyer. This could finally be his chance to perennially win the Big 10.
Maybe Tom Herman would be a good coach to jump to NFL but he seems to be bringing back the Longhorns to relevance so he might not want to risk the momentum he has going.
Scott Frost had UCF undefeated in 2017 before getting the Nebraska gig but he only went 4-8 this past year.
Maybe Chris Petersen from Washington? They've been rather good in the PAC-12 the past few years but have just been missing the CFP. Plus, he could be reunited with John Ross, who really knew how to utilize him on offense. Just a thought.

Bengals just got rid of a coach who couldn’t beat his rivals or win the big games. Why would we want another one?

Yep
As a general rule college HC's don't translate well to the NFL. There are always exceptions.

I’ll take their janitors, as long as they don’t have the last name of lazor, Jackson, Jospeh, or Simmons. I want something new, I’m sick of the same old bs. Mike, you aren’t getting any younger, and your way clearly is ineffective

If I were Dabo my current situation is heaven on Earth. $7.5 million per year, coaching a perennial college powerhouse and being beloved my millions of fans. Even if his teams start to go downhill he will always be revered as a legend and be worshiped for life in that region (like Woody Hayes). Only a fool (or an egomaniac) would subject themselves to a worse coaching position for (probably) less money and be constantly criticized by an ignorant fan base.
RE: College Coaches - SunsetBengal - 01-07-2019
I dunno, it's a tough transition going from "I am your master, you will do what I say" to "I can lead you to greatness, please listen to me".

Tom Herman, HC at Texas,a super coach and would make us a contender NOW.

I would take that Kook Jim Harbaugh in a hot second.
He is the anti-Bengal and anti-Cincinnati for that matter. And I think guys would play for him. I think the NFL would love him being in the same division as his brother, who isn't going anywhere now.

Good. Let that little coattail rider stay where he is at and look like a complete doofus once Belicheck retires.
RE: College Coaches - Au165 - 01-08-2019
The thing with college coaches is they tend to fail at a higher rate if they have never had experience in the NFL. A guy like Shaw who did coach in the NFL for 10 years I think could pull it off. For some guys though going to the NFL makes no sense. They make a lot of money in college and they can simply get the best players and dominate. They are treated like gods in those college towns versus being second guessed by the media every week in the NFL.

I live a skip, jump and a hop from Clemson and Sweeny would be seen as insane to take the gig in Cincinnati.. Hell, how many Clemson players do we even have? Currently exactly zero.. That could be a good thing though..
