I think the issue is less about Golden or Graham personally and more about the small number of interviews.
3 reasons for this:
1. The historical weight of this offseason.
2. Culture issues on defense and the need for a new voice.
3. The Bengals, unlike in past years, should have pick of the DC litter.
What DC wouldn't want come here at this point? Any candidate with confidence in his system should be salivating at the chance to run a defense opposite one of the elite offenses in the league. Even mediocrity would bring cumulative success in terms of wins and losses. Not sucking alone will make you a hero in a city that just witnessed 3 elite individual performances flushed down the toilet due to subpar defensive play.
