Simmons is nothing special but has respect from players and I do not see any quality in Lazor that screams "head coach". I will be pissed if Katie et al. hires internal candidate. I have a lot of respect for Katie (I know some don't but I most certainly do). But I would question her judgment if she hires any of the internal candidate.
Joseph was a "hot" candidate before he was hired by Denver. I understand that the team is looking for a young innovative offensive coach so my thinking is this rules out Joseph as head coach but he could be DC candidate.
No journalist or even Lapham knows who is favored. It is against the law and/or organizational policy to reveal such because according to human resources for most organizations, the Bengals or corporation could be sued for discrimination and bias. These people are speculating and have no clue.
I hope my gut is correct and I think Katie et al. is going for a "hot" new coach and that would mean Monken, or Taylor or Waldron. I am not sure if Eric Bienienmy would fit this category but I think Eric could very well be the next Bengal coach. In speculation i say this because Eric is very blunt and truthful which gains respect from players. He holds players accountable and tells them how it is. He is the antithesis of Marvin Lewis.
If the Bengals were going internal, they would have announced it by today it seems, even if they are still interviewing new coaching positioning openings.
Also keep in mind the team doesn't have to announce everyone they are interviewing. The next Bengal head coach may not even be on he radar at this point. Unlikely but possibly.
You are thinking the same way as me on this one Psych, nice post.
