There are around 8 teams releasing coaches and looking for new blood. This means that we would have to compete for these coaches with about 25% of the league. Cincinnati, believe it or not, is not a desired situation for head coaching. Most coaches would choose other options, either because of the freedom they would have with that franchise, or for fiscal reasons.
This leaves Mike Brown/Cincinnati scraping the bottom of the barrel for coaching candidates. Any ideal candidates will have signed somewhere else. Honestly, we would probably end up with a coach WORSE than Marvin (hard to believe eh? well they are out there).
I don't think it's a buyers market by any means, and Mike Brown probably sees it this way as well. Hang onto Marvin for a bit longer until there are less teams to compete with for candidates.
(I guess the moral of the story is, we probably could have had a worse candidate, so you should stick with Marvin one more time! )
The problem with that? According to NFL Network, these idiots are just waiting for Vance Joseph, Hue fuggin Jackson, or Jay Gruden to.....get this.....get fired, then try to hire one of them. That came from a source close to the situation. After this gotdamned kick to the fuggin groin, I'm SURE this is their "plan".
**** Mike Brown.
