Of course, excitement could change to dread quickly if Hue is made HC.
Case in point: I've spent more time on these forums this past week than I did the whole last month of the season.
I am not a believer a coach can make a major impact immediately. I see not enough accountability to the players and too much accountability to the coach.
If the coach they hire is a true upgrade, this time next year we will getting ready for a playoff game. But, seeing is believing and anything less than playoffs for me in 2019 it just another wasted year of failure.
I hope I am happy a year from now, as for now I feel no different than I did when ML was coaching a few days ago. I refuse to waste any more money on tickets or buy merchandise.
But, I am happy a bunch of fans already are drinking the Kool aide. I see many have lowered their 2019 expectations based on a new coach. I find that very interesting.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
