I think it’s clear we’re not going to get a Tier 1 HC candidate, or even a Tier 2 for that matter. That doesn’t man a guy like Simmons couldn’t turn out to be a success, but just don’t expect a well known name hire.
“As for potential coaching candidates for the Bengals in 2018, special teams coach Darrin Simmons could be on the short list of names the franchise considers for the vacancy, Rapoport reported.”
Of course, this is all from the report, that Marvin is now denying.

Simmons has been here a long time. and has been pretty solid with special teams... minus the kickers but hey he don't kick the ball.
If no better prospects hes one of the better in house. he would need to lean on his coordinators a lot though which might be a good thing
