The only hope is that Mike Brown retires at the end of this year and is completely removed from the organization.  Even then, it may not improve.  They need to hire a new GM and maybe they could get Kubiac and other coaches here.  

Yes - Basically none of the Bengals management would be hired to be even a GM with another team.

I doubt that Taylor would be hired as a HC or GM anywhere. That's our braintrust.

Lewis had a ton of success as a DC and had guys like Zimmer here who was Bill Parcells right-hand man. I suspect that's the reason we had some great drafts.

Honestly, the Bengals model...Coach, Scout, Gameplan, Evaluate Talent...it's A LOT for any coaches outside of like a Bill Parcells to do. An inexperienced guy like Taylor decided to do all that AND make himself Offensive Coordinator. It's failed miserably.

In other organizations, a HC has Gameplanning and Coaching duties. ie There's more cushion to lessen the risk of a total flop. Here, that net isn't in effect and Taylor has miserably failed.
