As of right now it's the great unknown other than who has been hired. I have no idea of how well they'll succeed or not. My gut reaction is to be a bit pessimistic, but that's easy to account for just because I've been a Bengals fan since I was just a boy and at 60 I'm no longer a boy..
The one hire giving me the most pause is Turner, but we shall see. They really can't afford to swing and miss on whoever they draft or bring in as FA's on the Oline and I really don't think he's got the talent to get the most out of last year's online so big changes better happen there or I fear doom and gloom from the oline and the rest of the offense.
The next big hire that really can't miss will have to be LBer's coach and signings.. I've kind of lost track of other openings, but I'm sure someone will be obliging enough to fill us in on the unknowns thus far..
I will predict that IF they fall completely flat and fail to win at all I'll quit paying attention until perhaps someday I look up and VIOLA! They're suddenly winning again out of the blue which is exactly what happened with me and the Bengals up until they beat that undefeated Chiefs team way back when.
Is it just me or has the mother ship stopped listing the coaching staff? I look under staff and coaches are not among them. It kind of feels like the ubiquitous missing link..
