I can't remember

If Mike Brown announced his retirement before the selection of the next Bengal head coach, I would think the fan base would lather into ecstasy. It would have a tremendous impact on season ticket sales, and create energy like the days of Paul Brown.

I am not sure a new Head Coach does it for me just yet. Remember, Hue Jackson made that terrible Palmer trade that set back the Raiders before he went to Cleveland.

Even if the new hire is Taylor or Bieniemy and he struggles, I would still look forward to next season. If the Bengals fired Haslett and a couple other coaches, then it would signal to me the front office is serious.
