We would finally have a group of coaches who would show some fire on the sidelines if nothing else.
Interesting. I don't actually have that fond of memories about Jay Gruden being OC here. Sure the Bengals had the 10th ranked offense in football in 2013, but keep in mind he had this offense to work with..
QB: Dalton
RB: Bernard, BJGE
TE: Gresham, Eifert
WR: Green, Jones, Sanu, Hawkins
OL: Whitworth, Boling, Cook, Zeitler, A Smith
Pro Bowl QB, great receiving RB, two Pro Bowl TEs, Pro Bowl WR (plus a WR who'd later catch 1,100+ yards in a season and two more who'd catch 800+ yards).
That was probably about as good of skill players as the Bengals ever had and Gruden could only get them to be 10th.
...then they went and scored all of 10 points against a really inferior Chargers team.
