Before that is was another decade before the guy had an NFL job, I'm sorry if he had anything to offer he'd be offering it and someone would be taking him up on it. If he had no tie here no one would even bring him up, once again people are reaching for anything here. There are other 70+ year old consultants and coaches in the NFL but Sam isn't one. Maybe he doesn't want to do it, maybe he can't, either way it seems moot to even talk about.

I think the argument that his last team was shit is weak.  He helped build a championship roster at Tampa that other coaches took credit for.  

I also disagree that if he had no ties here it wouldn't be brought up and would make zero sense.  The offense still runs largely a west coast style.  The issue (for me anyways) has been the predictability of run formations and personnel.  Asking a guy that had two 1.000 yard rushers in the same season to help the Bengals self-scout wouldn't be all that crazy, IMHO. 

Lastly, as far as why no other team tried this before, it was clear that Sam was in very bad health.  His voice was all but gone and he had no energy.  Whatever was wrong with Sam, he wouldn't likely be able to hold up to a NFL coach's schedule.  That has all changed.  And, again, I am talking about a consultant role that would aid in self-scouting.  He wouldn't be taking anyone's job or creating an entirely new offense.
