... What if Whitworth and Zeitler never intended to come back here?
This smells of reality. I couldn't believe what the Falcons paid for Sanu, but looking back they knew how to get more out of him. The Lions paid a ton for Marvin Jones. I couldn't believe Jones would want to give up the situation of being opposite AJ Green and having single coverage all day long. But, he wanted out as well.
I know the easy target is the Bengal's brass, but I think some of this has to fall on the coaches. Players aren't dumb and when they see their coaches not be able to prepare a two-minute drill with 15 years to learn one, or simply have lame game plans/plays, etc. they more than likely realize they don't have a realistic shot at winning.
Whit said something about the Rams having energy and liked their young, creative coach. He saw something when everyone else saw a team that had a bust of a pick at QB.
Some of this has to fall on the coaches, and that is why I don't want a single coach back. Blow it up. Give the new HC the opportunity to build his own staff.
I wanted Haley until I saw a post from someone (Nately?) about what a crapbag that guy is in life outside of football. My dream is they find the next Sam Wyche: innovative, yet disciplined and balls as big as church bells. Will they find it? No. The next coach will be Guenther or Simmons and nothing will change.
