I really admire your optimism, but I really don't think that the Bengals organization could possibly move that quickly.

If we get an experienced guy with recent DC/HC experience (Saleh, Allen, Eberflus, Covington, Graham), then part of the job they just had is scouring the NFL to improve their D. The stretch for them is evaluating what we have already. 

Now, a coordinator guy (Clinkscale, etc) probably has a narrower focus to just his position group, and will likely have to play catch up more.
