Have Hopes of a New Coach Coming In and Turning Us Around?

People close to Coughlin said Thursday that the size of the personnel department could be a potential deal-breaker, and that Coughlin probably wouldn't take a job without the resources he thinks he needs to win.

The Bengals' personnel department is the league's smallest. Coughlin had 11 people in his personnel department in Jacksonville, where he was general manager and offensive coordinator.

This article says that Coughlin not also being named GM was the potential sticking point...

That would follow because Coughlin was the Jag's GM and HC and being just a HC would be a step down.  Coughlin didn't coach anywhere the year after being fired.

Keep in mind that Tom's "action plan" hinged around him being GM, HC, and OC.  Wearing that many hats, he would need a large support staff.
