As far as I’m concerned the Cincinnati Bengals can go one of two directions:
1. Retain the current coaching staff, let the best players leave via trade or free agency to competitive teams, and continue to use the franchise as a farm team for the elite teams in the NFL.
2. Attract the best coaching talent with positive playoff experience either at the college or professional level.
It’s easy to forget players like Billy Price, Dre Kirkpatrick, AJ Green, Andre Smith, Cedric Ogbuehi, Jake Fisher, Andy Dalton, Darqueze Dennard — and let’s even go back to Carson Palmer — were all highly rated players in college yet in the NFL only AJ Green and sometimes Andy Dalton play to the potential they demonstrated in college.
Somehow college studs become Bengal duds.
