Considering the nature of his position and the curiousness of him not actually having full GM "powers", it would be really tough for the Bengals to get anyone else who is actually better suited for the position to come in and accept that limited role, particularly with NFL GMs getting turned over about as much as HCs do. As much as we'd like to see an upgrade from Duke, I just don't think that it's in the cards for us.
However, noting what the author wrote about Duke's failures in securing the trenches over the span of multiple coaching staffs, perhaps it's time for the team to expand that office and bring in a Co-Director of player personnel? Someone to focus specifically on linemen on both sides of the ball. Allow Duke to focus on what he's better at and give him a strong resource to cover his shortcomings.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
