Too many journalists from too many well respected outlets reporting that Marvin isn’t coming back. That had to come from somewhere. I doubt Mike Brown or Katie let that slip, given how little they interface with the media.
So, regardless of Marvin’s protestations, it had to come from him. He can feign ignorance, but I’m totally convinced he’s the source of all of these reports he was leaving. Add to that, NO COACHES have a contract after this season. Sounds like a housecleaning to me.
We haven’t heard any current player come to Marvin’s defense. We’ve heard from other coaches and other players come to his defense. But, no one on this current roster has. That’s telling in and of itself.
The only question is, who’s the next HC. Someone is telling the media the Bengals are interested in a reunion with Gruden. Someone reached out to him to have that hit the same reliable news sources.
Personally, I doubt seriously Mike Brown will trade a draft pick for any HC. So, if Hue or Jay aren’t fired, (which it doesn’t sound like they’re going to be), that leaves a whole lot of other possibilities. At least the news out there shows the Bengals are being pro-active with the coaching search rather than reactive.
