One delay could be The Bengals interviewed Patrick Graham, but then Jaguars interviewed him to be their head coach. Graham is good and was a D Coach in Patriots Super Bowl years and was D Coordinator at Dolphins, Raiders. Bengals interviewed him for a reason, but Jaguars considering him as their head Coach changes things. If Jaguars hire a different Head Coach, Graham who Bengals interviewed is back in play.
Here's one more thing Fans need to know about a slow process in hiring coaches. Over the decades I've seen many coaches turn down coming to Cincinnati. Fans think this is the #1 team to be on in football. I'm not so sure the D Coordinators at Notre Dame or Oregon want to leave and come to Cincinnati and they might be looking for a Head Coaching offer somewhere to leave such top jobs they already have.
This is why Fans shouldn't look down on the Bears Head Coach fired. He needs a job, and the man turned the Colts defense around in a few months, so he has proved he is a good D Coordinator. The big thing is he is out of work and available. Again, I doubt that Golden wants to leave Notre Dame unless it's a Head Coaching job. If he is a D Coordinator at Notre Dame, why take the same job in Cincy. Same goes for the Oregon D Coordinator.
The Bengals did interview Patrick Graham fast, but Jaguars then interviewed him for a Head Coach job, so that right there slows things down.
