It doesn't upset me at all.
What we have currently available, is what's available.
The report from all sources is that Del Rio and Zac Taylor mutual agreed it wouldn't work. Which is a nice way of saying that they don't want to work together.
Dom Capers basically flat out turned us down over the multiple offers he got.
Which I thought was hilarious, because about 80% of Bengaldom did nothing but hate on the guy.
All he did was probably look at what this defense was capable of doing and the only thing that they defended last year was multiple coaches from having jobs.
You may not like it, but it's the truth.
Most, if not all reports, said we were viewed as a top landing spot for head coaches because of stability at the quarterback position and loyalty to our head coaches.
Statistically speaking, we had one of the worst defensive units in NFL history, it's hard to talk your way out of that.
Todd Grantham was never a guaranteed hire.
Word was from the beginning that his family didn't want to move and he's already one of the highest paid coordinators in all of football.
The truth is we could of offered him a key to the city and he still might not have came.
The only thing it hurts is the already created stigma that nobody wants to play for the Bengals.
The players on defense underperformed most of the year and the result is nobody wants them.
We might have to get a defensive coordinator hungry to make a name for himself. They have nobody to blame, but themselves on that.
It reminds me of a time when Paul Brown first entered the NFL, coming from the AAFC, their first opponent was the defending champion Eagles.
Greasy Neale said that Paul Brown was an overhyped high school coach, coaching a bunch of overhyped high school players.
Coach Paul Brown placed that newspaper everywhere he could and his team destroyed the Eagles.
After the game Greasy Neale said all the do is pass the ball, that they couldn't beat him man-to-man.
They played them again that year and Paul Brown set a record that has never been matched since then. The Browns didn't throw a single pass the entire game and still won.
If I'm Zac Taylor that's what I do with this team. I'd have them playing agile, mobile and hostile. It be nothing, but blood, sweat and tears this offseason.
They be hitting everything that moved.
