I'll be out if that happens....good Lord.

It has been both. Mostly the FO....but Merv's teams are undisciplined and mentally weak. That's on the coaches.

It doesn't mean we don't "thank them" for their time. It means they are not part of our future.

It's possible M. Brown runs the organization mom and pop and the HC is responsible for 100 things at once. We will soon see where we end up, but it will be difficult to tell, as I don't think AJ Green and Andy Dalton will be a combination in a couple years.

At least he's given us time to prepare for bringing someone else in.

It's not only possible.... it's EXACTLY how it is.

Loved this in the comment section from a Detroit fan:



So, who's with me for getting big Jim in here?  

Yeah.... I'm all for Ebenezer getting any shot he can get.

Also the assistants piping in about their pay?  Don't sign the contract if your not happy, geese give me a break....

All this is good news as it sounds like everyone will be gone!!!

I agree about the assistants....but I'll side with them over Son of Paul. Betcha Piano Man wasn't complaining.

Paul Guenther will either be the next Bengals head coach or be working for Washington. Gruden wanted him for his DC last year could not get out of his deal.

Hope he's in DC next season.

As long as he is still breathing, the Bengals are ******.

Absolutely.  Scrooge is the main issue.  He'll still go as cheaply as possible....and undermine everything the staff will try do as a result.

How petty....

No.... I'd love it to happen.

Marvin Lewis says he has made no decisions and any report he is going to walk away is not true. #bengals

Jeez....I hope this is just PR speak from Merv.  Jimbo Fisher said the same shit 2 days before bolting from Tallahassee.
