Big "Who Cares" to McDaniels passing on us.  Dude is so full of himself.

McDaniels declined the Bengals.

Bengals requested permission to interview Bucs OC Todd Monken

I wouldn't mind if we talked to Adam Gase.

Also, I expect this wouldn't be a popular option around here, but how about giving Mike Munchak a call?

Why in the world would anyone from that staff be considered?

No.

Super Bowl should always be the goal. If you’re consistently winning in the playoffs and having a legitimate shot at championships, beating the Steelers will come automatically.

If we lost both games to Pittsburgh every season but won Super Bowls it wouldn’t matter if we lost to them.

Do “so many other bengals fans” really feel the same as you? If so, shame on them.

Exactly. I've seen this "rather beat our rivals" mentality in college (specifically Ohio St fans over Michigan), not so much for NFL.
Who cares if you lose to your rival if you end up winning the championship ultimately?

McDaniels declined the Bengals.

Good. I don't like that guy anyway. He was not a good HC with the Broncos, so I don't have confidence he'll be a good HC anywhere else.

Not in points they weren’t.

The yards probably came in garbage time playing from behind so often.

Which is fine.  I don't think he's a head coaching guy.  He's a coordinator.  And after what happened in Denver and the way he treated Indy last year I would not go near him.

Bengals clearly want to become a top notch offense again and are fishing in the pool of young or successful offensive minds.

I don't really want them, unless the young guys actually have 1) a truly elevated/ creative offensive mind and 2) the ability to handle a group of men.

Some guys that interest me (in no particular order) are:

• Adam Gase - Had a pretty good offense in Denver.  And Peyton Manning REALLY likes him, and is a great offensive mind himself
• Mike McCarthy - had a good run in Green Bay when he had talent - and that dealing with a diva like Rogers
• Freddie Kitchens - blue collar guy that appears to know how to tailor an offense to his personnel
• Lincoln Riley - Runs the type of offense that the NFL is slowly embracing
• Dabo Swinney - Clemson - The guy is beating the best teams in college football and is a firebrand

Yes, and I hope the Packers go with someone else and he's left scrambling for a job anywhere.....

3rd in total offense 12 in scoring, and he had to deal with a revolving door at QB. I'm not saying i love the guy but he knows how to run an offense.

I forget where I read/heard about this, but apparently Tampa's HC Dirk Koetter would take over play calling in the middle of games and that is when the offense would start to suck. Then they'd go back to Monken and the offense would start to click again.

Seems to me Koetter was the problem with that whole offense. Not saying Monken is great, but he is worth a look.

A buddy of mine that does twitter and stuff said it's just been posted that J. McDaniels refused interview ?

hmmmmm must be true

from what i've been reading he actually might be, apparently he runs an offense that blends college and nfl styles

On the flip side, Bieniemy turned down the Cardinals and accepted an interview with the Bengals.

Bieniemy is the hotter candidate than McDaniels thus far, yet we not only got an interview, we got the first interview.

[Nicomo Cosca]

I’d prefer a coach from a winning team.

I agree, I prefer Bieniemy hopefully he takes the job.

We requested an interview with Todd Monken Bucs OC, that is a solid interview. He is one of the names thrown around for a decent amount of jobs.
