As figured, no changes coming

Consistency goes a long way, but patience is key IMO.

Agreed, constantly swapping coaches around does no better than having a different QB each year.  You must pick a direction, go with it, and allow the plan to mature.

Take the Defensive Coordinator role as an example.  We had a great one in Zimmer, we then passed the baton to Guenther, who only had to "steer the car".  Austin was just plain bad, and was rightly fired.  Now after watching what Guenther did with the Raiders this past season, I'm actually glad that the Bengals didn't put up more of a fight to keep him around.  Sure, some might say "Well, he took their defense from being ranked 32, up to 24th", however, the only aspect of the game where their defense has done anything noteworthy is by being 8th in rush yards allowed.

For all of the shit we have given Anarumo this year, I really don't think he's done that bad of a job.  He had a great plan to open the season at Seattle, they just fell a little short at the end.  They held the team "in" most games, not their fault that the offense was impotent for about 11 games in a row.
