On one hand, he's got 15 years of head coaching experience that would likely serve as a calming effect for a rookie HC. On the other hand, he's more of an old school guy and nothing about him screams "innovative" or "cutting edge".
After Jack Del Rio, the wow factor of all the candidates with "names you know", really took a nose dive. It's looking more and more clear to me that the movement by the Bengals Management is to go with younger, modern thinkers with these coaching hires. Right now, Aubrey Pleasant, or any of the College candidates like Grantham or Elko seem to be where our immediate future is at.
Im content with trying any of the three of those names. Pleasant is who I'd feel best about though. Seems like a really intelligent and passionate coach. Plus he was part of a game plan in the SB that pretty close to shut down Brady and the Patriots explosive offense. Coming from working under Wade Phillips is a very good thing.
