Mikey may trust Katie and Tobin a lot, but still makes the final call. That could go one of three ways given the options:
1. Marvin stays
2. Vance Joseph or Paul Guenther
-If Hue's succession plan was an actual offer, then we underestimate Marvin's pull. Vance or Paul would be a plug and play HC and Marvin retires or gets paid to be some sort of advisor. Who knows the dynamic so maybe he could muscle Tobin out if it comes down to it though, talk about backlash.
(at this point Coughlin is contacted but declines)
3. John Fox: Playoff experience (8-7) He would be let go 3 times, maybe he sees Marvin's span as job security. If given security, may not push for personnel decisions and take some of Cincy's lifer assistants (everyone's nightmare). He would still need top 10-20 coaching money to make it work.
After that, I really don't know. McCarthy may be the best coach, so I don't see him being fired, affordable or going to Cincy. Cincy's biggest chip could be the idea that you may get a college like lifetime deal if you play your cards right. Young guys don't worry about that, neither do comfortable guys like Billick or Coughlin that may need an ideal position. If somehow they turn a new leaf and throw a bunch of money and power at a big name, smh nevermind...back to reality.
