IMO Vic Fangio is a clear #1 choice. The guy just succeeds at every level and has earned a chance to HC. You can always get one of the Rams positional coaches to come in as OC to change the offensive culture and Vance Joseph as DC to team with Fangio.
#2 choice would be Todd Monken
#3 Eric Bienemy
I am concerned Eric Bienemy's success is a result of Andy Reid.

I'd happily roll the dice on the following:
Eric Bieniemy
Kris Richard
Shane Waldron
Todd Monken
Vic Fangio
Zac Taylor
Unfortunately the Cowboy's win on Saturday means we wouldn't be able to interview Richard until next week at the earliest. Don't know if the Bengals would wait that long.
Everything in this post is my fault.

Fangio may be heading to Denver
Winning makes believers of us all

So I guess I'm not the only one who logs into Bengals.com to see if they've finally decided on a new HC. It's a bit like logging into reds.com waiting to see the next big pitching acquisition only to read some drivel about some minor league player who may or may not ever pan out day after day, week after week, month after month, year after......

looks like 2 head coaches are now spoken for... Matt Lafuear and Bruce Arians. Neither were on our interview list I don't believe... (as spots start closing coaches should be more inclined to make decisions... if the team is waiting on the coach at least)

I don't think it much of a stretch to predict that whoever the Bengals hire as the next HC we'll see a LOT of people unhappy. Nobody is 100% fail-proof especially working for Mike Brown.

My wants are more in the coordinator position(s):
Give me Steve Wilks as DC and Charlie Wiess as OC.
But more importantly than any of this. Bring in a competent GM/talent adviser. Dream there would be Pat Kirwin
So have Teryl Austin and Ken Zampese. Maybe we should hire one of those guys.

looks like we should be able to get who we want... And that coach we might not even have talked to yet.
Cardinals
Green Bay
Tampa Bay
Are already working on new HCs deals.
Browns and Denver seem to have narrowed it down to a few canidates none of which seemed on our radar so far.
So that just leaves.
Jets
dolphins
Bengals.
