Find competent coaches to replace them.

Trade Andy Dalton for a package of draft picks and competent offensive lineman at the end of the year or before the year is over. I dont care.

Trade for Andrew Luck in the off season. There are rumors that he wants out. Offer the Colts 2 or 3 first round picks for him. I dont care. Just get him.

Completely rebuild the offensive line in the off season much like the Vikings did this year. Rebuild it through the draft, free agency, Dalton's trade pickups, whatever it takes. Hell, spend the first 5 picks of the draft next year drafting prospects.

If this all happens then the Bengals will be a Super Bowl winning team. The path is there. Good ownership and a good front office could get it done.

This plan would take a few years to achieve the goal, but it might work.
What I think will give Mike Brown pause is that Andrew Luck's current contract averages $24 mill a year. Dalton's only averages $16 mill. The Bengals could use that savings to get another key piece or use toward extension of key player(s). Or at least that's what they'd tell everyone.
