The recent hiring of Jackson is being viewed as a potential succession plan by several other owners and general managers who are preparing for their own coaching searches.

I wouldn't be too worried. Marvin will never leave.

I know this sounds terrible but I hope this happens. A couple a reasons: it's been 16 years and we need something different. If he fails like he did in Cleveland then hopefully we only have to endure 5 years as opposed to 16. Only partly kidding. We know what we have with Marvin. Yes he failed in Cleveland but who doesn't? Also, he did have a winning record with Jason Campbell in Oakland before he got hurt and he traded for Carson.

Would I be considered a bad fan if I said I no longer give a damn who coaches the Cincinnati Dysfunctionals*?

Yeah, that might just about do it..going from bad coach to worse coach would probably sink the fan base to the 90's level.

And here I was fantasizing Hue becomes HC and goes 70 - 3 - 1 in his first 4 seasons as HC of the Bengals

How do they expect people to take them seriously as an organization with moves like that....

I've been sayin ABM (Anyone But Marv) for almost a decade now... But this is not what I had in mind. Hue is no doubt a worse head coach, and arguably more delusional (how much did he give up for Palmer and how much was he about to give up for McCarron?? )
This would be the worst head coach hire possible... But of course, it doesn't shock me. The second hue was fired from Cleveland I think we all knew he'd be back in Cincinnati shortly. And I think we all have that nauseating feeling that Hue will eventually replace Marv
If/when this happens, we will officially be back to being the 90's Bungles

Short answer? They don't give a shit. They have a family toy that brings in millions a year and that's really all that matters to them.

This was the plan several years ago...so it likely is now.
It's time to admit that the team doesn't care about a Super Bowl. They just care about comfortable working conditions for management and coaches.

Mike Brown and family view the Bengals franchise about like me and you would a cell phone tower in our back yard. An eye sore and bit of an inconvenience that makes them money. In their case lots and lots of it.

It almost makes sense Mike Brown fires a bad coach just to hire a worse one.

I do not like Hue as a HC or a person. He throws everyone around him under the bus. WTS, if we lose the Denver game we should remove Marvin Lewis as HC and allow Hue the chance to audition the remainder of the year.

Hue is all about Hue. Always has been. Always will be.
I hope like hell he isn't the next head coach. It would be an extremely lazy hire and just more of the same.
That probably means it guaranteed to happen.

Is this rumor the same source reporting Marvin leaving at the end of last season?

Just shoot me now if he is our next coach.
Need to fire our DC immediately though.

I'm a pretty big fan of the two-headed monster approach we have going now!

Can you believe this nightmare ? We go from a HC who can't win anytime it matters to one who can't win at all.

Why do I feel like a Hue "Hold my beer" meme for taking over for Marvin Lewis is being concocted as we speak?
