If the Bengals sac Zac, I wouldn't mind seeing Joseph or Bienemy given more serious consideration, unless they flat out expressed fundamental differences in working with the Bengals Management. As for the others, Waldron might have been the better choice than Zac, but you never know if there was even mutual interest from Waldron. Monken may feel a need to accomplish something bigger as HC of UGA, and Kubiak likely looked at the Bengals organizationally, and just said "no thanks".
Now, if worst comes to worst, Simmons might not be such a bad candidate. He's been a coordinator forever, and his rolodex must be pretty thick with contacts by now..
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
