For the record, I still think Marvin will be the HC next year, but if I'm wrong and Mike either fires him or Marvin walks away, then what kind of coach would be best for the Bengals moving forward. 

I figured I would put together a list of possible candidates and get the pulse of our members as to what they would like to see. In this scenario, I have Mike McCarthy and John Fox getting fired and being on the list. I also have 2 very successful ex HC's in Billick and Coughlin, as well as 5 ex HC's that are now coordinators/coaches and 11 coordinators that are hot candidates and/or have had interviews over the last couple of years for open spots.

I did not include guys like Gruden, Cowher and Dungy because I think it would take too much money to land them, and I'm not sure if they would even be interested in leaving their current gigs. 
 
So, there's 20 names to choose from. Make a list of 5 candidates who you think would be the best fit for the job. Once enough lists have been shared, we'll do a poll of the top 5 names and see who gets the nod in our imaginary coaching search. Again, this is just for fun and meant to see who the fans would hire if they had the power. 

Here's the list to choose your top 5 from:

Mike McCarthy
Tom Coughlin
Brian Billick
John Fox

Steve Spagnuolo
Scott Linehan
Doug Marrone
Todd Haley
Jim Schwartz

Josh McDaniels
Matt Patricia
Kyle Shanahan
Vance Joseph
Sean McDermott
Teryl Austin
Sean McVay
Darrell Bevell
Anthony Lynn
Frank Riech
Mike Shula

1.) Josh McDaniels- I think his system would be perfect for Andy
2.)Steve Spangnulo- reminds me of a young Zim
3.) Jim Schwartz- coaches with fire might be what this team needs
4.)Kyle Shannan - I like his offensive system 
5.)Mike Patrica-  very smart coach.
