The name of the next Cincinnati head coach is most likely not on this list.

Are you thinking Bill Lazor?  Because if you are then

Never.

I’m thinking Gregg Williams. Cleveland stupidly won’t retain him.

Is Williams up for an interview with the Bengals? I think it is stupid that Browns passed on him at least for an interview.

Some of the interviews are for OC and DC positions, disguised as HC interviews.

Carmichael is interesting as HC.

DelRio should at least get an interview. At least as potential DC.

Just as Lewis retained Bratkowski, the new HC will be asked to retain some of the coaches.

But Brown has to be willing to spend money for good coaches.

After listening to Lance and Lapham, I am really starting to think that Bieniemy will be the new head coach for the Bengals. I really like Taylor, his cerebral approach notwithstanding, I think the endorsement McVay made for him is of high praise. I would not rule out Monken as the dark horse.

If Monday comes and goes without an announcement, then it bodes well that the new coach will be external.

I’m not sure. Mike Brown isn’t stupid. He doesn’t know a lot about football but he understands business and hiring practices. He saw what Gregg Williams did in Cleveland — and never forget Mike despises Cleveland on principle.

Would like taking this gamble

I think that after 16 years with a defensive minded coach, the hiring committee and Bengal Brass want to go with an offensive minded coach.  This is why I do not think they go after Kris Richard and why Joseph is out of running for head coach.

I voted for Vance Joseph. That's not who I want it to be but who I think it will be. Mike won't pick Hue but will go with another former assistant in Joseph.

Now you have me worried he's going to hire Bob Bratkowski or Paul Alexander.

I think Joseph would be better than Hue Jackson at this point.  Not sure why though. I can at least rationalize that he did not have a QB in Denver.  I would not be excited by this however.

Never. Those two clowns won’t ever be interviewed or even considered.

[tBengal]

I said Hue Jackson. Prove me wrong MB.

[BonnieBengal]

Bienemy has only been an NFL OC for one year. He needs more time. We don't know right now if the Chiefs' potent offense is because of his brilliant coaching or just because he has Mahomes.

Mike Brown will hire Hugh Jackman before he hires Hue Jackson.

[HarleyDog]

Although I would be satisfied with Bieniemy, I think we will try out Taylor.

Coaches that have the intangibles to be the head guy don't need experience at a particular job to be successful further up the ladder. He's been a coach in one form or another for 17ish years. He also has endorsements from people in-the-know that he would potentially be a good HC.

I wonder if Eric Bieniemy's past brushes with the law is going to hurt his chances.

The ghost of Chris Henry says no.
