In years past, there's always been 2-3 hot candidates with sparkling resumes, with fewer openings. Guys like Pederson, Nagy, Reich, McVay etc.
Now it seems each of the current candidates has serious questions.
Bieniemy - Pretty green. 1 year as OC and didn't call plays.
Monken - His offense produced a lot of yards, but also a lot of turnovers. Wasn't as impressive in previous years.
Taylor - No coordinator experience
Waldron - See Taylor
McDaniels - failed miserably as a HC already, yet he's very choosy (thankfully)
Joseph - Failed miserably in Denver
Arians - Good coach, but only interested in coaching 1 team
I guess we can hope that the Bengals are waiting on a guy that's still coaching. So who is your favorite candidate that is still coaching? Do you think we're in a tough year to fill the spot?
YES, because the BEST year would have been hiring Zimmer or Gruden before they left. MOST Bengals Fans on old mothership site on Bengals.com were on this. Fire or promote Lewis and make Zimmer or Gruden head coach. Right now we could have Lewis in Tobin's job and Zimmer or Gruden as Head Coach.
So YES it is the wrong year in that this should have been done a couple years ago to promote and keep either Zimmer or Gruden. My choice back then was Keep Zimmer.
