People really need to lower expectations for Joe Brady, especially since it's going to be Eric Bieniemy that gets hired. A well-respected coordinator that has a Superbowl ring and has been passed over on several other head coaching jobs? There are too many parallels between him and Marvin Lewis that this is the easiest Bengal prediction one can make over the next 9 months.
First year in, he'll have the Bengals back to .500 ball. The following year, the Bengals will have one of the best records in the AFC, only to have Joey Porter Jr. cheap shot Joe Burrow on a blown assignment by Jackson Carman, costing us any chance of winning our first playoff game in 30 years. In the years to follow, the Bengals continue to show promise in the regular season only to get bounced in the first round of the playoffs. Not before long, the fan's excitement is replaced with apathy and Eric Bieniemy is dubbed "Even Eric" for his .500 career win/loss record. After 15 years, Elizabeth Blackburn finally acknowledges it's time for a change and fires Even Eric and sets out on hiring an up-and-coming coach who has no coordinator or coaching experience in the NFL.
