fair enough

Curious to see other names as well but he would be a home run.

Really, what makes you say that?

Have you read any rumors saying that?

My top 3 after a lot of thought would be:

Saleh
Dennis Allen
Vrabel (Likely not an option)

Minority hire is nice if it happens, but choice for the job shouldn't be based solely upon that idea.

Yeah, like Zac would want a potential mutiny on is hands??

I  believe  Zac is coaching for his job next year.  If he has an ounce of input in the hire, it won't be anyone that could usurp him after a rocky start.

I agree with that, as well.


To the folks thinking that Saleh would somehow come in and resurrect things with mostly current personnel (I mean the Bengals don't have the cash to fund a rebuild to 3-4 personnel); What exactly would a Robert Saleh 4-3 defense look like? Where would he find all of those extra pass rushers? 

Personally, my hopes are that the Bengals go with a guy like Allen or Martindale.
