There will be coaching changes made in Cincinnati after the season ends. A team does not get off to a 5-2 start and subsequently finish 5-11. Rest assured this will happen. The Bengals have too many injuries, the star players have already given up, and the coaches are the worst ever. Cincinnati will lose the remaining games on the schedule.
I take no pleasure in writing this. If the Bengals could make a miraculous turn around and finish 10-6 no one would be happier than me — except for maybe Marvin Lewis.
When coaching changes happen I don’t want to see anyone return to Cincinnati who has already coached here. As the title says: No retreads!

I agree...but I doubt they change HC's. Honestly, they needed to change HC's for the past 5 years...and...they...don't.

MB will use injuries as an excuse to keep Marvin.
It just feels irreparable at this point. Like Marvin has lost the locker. The "program" we at least had going from 2008-2015 is broken. Players won't make the mistake of trying to send him off on a high note again after it messed around and got him an extension.
If Marvin is let go, it's not because of the record. It's because of the Austin hire, that MB has to pay through 2019, along with Hue's failed return to help "scope" out the remaining games against the AFCN.
Marvin was given more control, but so far his big moves have been misses. And they've cost MB some money. This seems like it's it, but I felt the same last season.
As far as the next HC having never coached here, with the exception of Zimmer, I agree.

We've lost too much talent the past 3-4 off seasons and not replaced it.

Mike Brown would never hire Zimmer as HC. He likes docile HC's. Zimmer is too outspoken.
Hue or Jay Gruden are more his style.

Which of course is the exact reverse of what this team needs. We NEED an outspoken, tough minded Head Coach in the worst way.

Precisely. I honestly can't envision a scenario where we have a coach other than Marvin, Hue, or Gruden next year.

Marvin still has a year left on his contract and he has the excuse of injuries plaguing his team.
Even if by a miracle he is fired Hue is gonna be the successor and he has proven his worth as HC. You should hear Mayfield talking about Hue in the postgame interview.

We're assuming that management cares about a Super Bowl too. After 26+ years, evidence shows they dip their toes in the water...rather than diving into the pool.
I miss the days of us trying to sign a TO or someone like that.

Honestly, if they go 5-11 I don't see him gone.
You know they'll win 1 or 2 games. So 6-10 or 7-9.
That's not bad to Management.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Marvin is complete trash, I say that with evidence of 16 years of futility and averageness. Marvin should retire the game has passed him by. But
Mike Brown will offer him a 2 year extension after this year because he is clueless and loves futility as well. 6 and 10.

With Marvin, there's always a dead cat bounce at the end of the season.
If we lost to the Ravens and the Lions last year, we already have a new fresh coach this season and maybe we have some optimism going forward.
But no.
We will be stuck with Marvin (or Hue) next season regardless. And the carnival of sadness will continue.

Hue Jackson, of all the Head Coach candidates out there, is like 100 spots behind the guy on the very bottom of the list. And that's being nice.
