Has anyone read this?? Marvin wanted to groom Hue for the HC job for the Bengals and give him the keys in two years. Mike Brown couldn't guarantee it because that's too far down the road. So Hue takes his stuff and heads over to the rival to prove a point?? Interesting and disappointing at the same time.
We lost Zimmer and Gruden and still made play-offs.....Good coaches get head coaching offers, that is football......Zimmer and Gruden turning things around in Minnesota and Washington.....Hue could turn things around in Cleveland......Good coaches get head coaching offers......The Miami Dolphins offensive coach is a great pick-up replacement. A good coach and Bengals offense stays tough.....
Marvin is pretty good and is light years above the insults of him. Marvin took over the worst team in the NFL and has had them in the play-offs 7 out of 13 years, over 50 % of the time in play-offs for a franchise that from Paul Brown dying to Marvin hiring was in play-offs 0 % of the time, zero, a dozen years of futility. Only 2 of the 13 years did the teams revert back to 4 win seasons. 11 of his 13 seasons here, the team has had competitive seasons around 7 or 8 wins or more to go play-offs over 50 % of the time. Remember this was the worst team in the NFL, that isn't up for debate, so the first years needed much rebuilding. The 6 play-off seasons in last 7 years shows Marvin turned this losing franchise around. Most in NFL thought 2002 Bengals were unable to be fixed after being awful for 12 seasons.
One more thing. I won't mind it if Bengals get away from Hue putting the tackles out with the WR. I saw Houston Oilers do that back in late 60's and early 70's ....It didn't work then and I wasn't seeing these separated offensive line plays doing much for Bengals....Hue is gone and you can't run his playbook. Let the coach from Miami do his thing, and let Cleveland run those separated O line formations because they won't work there either. Hue is a good coach, but these formation plays need to go to with him.....Gruden loved the pass and Hue loved the run. I hope this Dophins coach now here is a combo of pass and run. We have weapons in both areas. Certainly don't ask him to run Gruden or Hue playbooks, that never ever works. Let him bring his Miami offensive playbook to Cincy and run his own scheme, that is what works, a coach running his plays, not trying to run the coaches that are gone. Let him run his own system because that is the only way it can work.
