Do you think Mike Brown will look for the best coach possible to become the new head coach for Cincy or do you think he will go the comfort route? Going after a Hue Jackson because of the relationship he has already established and knows what he will be dealing with.
I personally think he will go the comfort route and hire Hue Jackson regardless of who else is out there.
So hypothetically speaking, what do you think? Will Mike go after a coach that will be the best thing to get the Bengals to that next level, OR will he go with the comfort choice and hire someone he knows and what to expect?
Marvin pressured Mike to put the succession plan to Hue in writing before Hue took the Cleveland job, and Mike refused . Marvin desperately wants Hue to get the job, but if Mikey wasn't sold on Hue pre-Cleveland, there's no way he's sold now. Hue will get an interview, both to placate Marv and the Rooney Rule, but I don't see him getting the job.
