It was a weird year for coaching hires. Most of the teams had their guy and you didn't see 2-3 teams compete for a guy.

McDaniels left the Colts at the alter and they ended up with Reich. We just missed on Zac and missed on our list in general. We interviewed way too many guys with ties to the team. Bill Lazor? Really?

We only know of the eight candidates that were interviewed. We don't know of the candidates who the Bengals reached out to but weren't interested to even be interviewed.

Some people may hate to hear it, but some candidates may not have an interest to coach for the Bengals and/or live in Cincinnati.
