This team is not a quality roster right now and is behind Steelers, Ravens and Browns. The current roster is average at best even with no injuries. The Bengals' roster will remain behind the three division opponents next year regardless of draft and traditional third tier free agent or two.
If they hire an "internal" guy with no other changes, they will lose twice to the Steelers next year, won't make playoffs and lose most of their fan base forever.
Doing the safe thing means implosion next year and poor teams for the following 4 to 5 years. It won't be pretty at the end when taxpayers refuse to build a new stadium and Bengals follow the Art Rooney model and take off for $$$ greener pastures.
This is a make or break decision for the franchise and its future in Cincinnati.
