Del Rio = out
Capers = out
Grantham = out
Pleasant = TBD, I suppose. We interviewed him (I think??) and no offer was made. Do we circle back here?
MERV??
Any other names floating around out there?
I think they just need to pull the trigger on Pleasant and let's move forward.
This needs to be done. Public perception of the Bengals has never been overwhelmingly positive, but the optics here are becoming quite ugly.

I'm getting a funny feeling Mike misses Marvin (especially after that interview), and wants him back for DC and no snot nosed kid is going to stand in his way.

Dark horse--Mike Nolan.
And for the next go around, could all the people involved keep their damn mouths shut until a deal is struck?

not really feasible to have marvin as DC the next year after being removed from head coach.
I think Pleasant would be the pick now if not more interview should happen asap.
If you want marvin on Defense we probly have to hire his son.

Also could be said not really feasible to have a HC with no head coaching experience at any level - yet here we are.

But Marvin's son already quit on him once.

There's probably no one left that can help this D. it'll just be someone with no experience to fill the position to get us through. Next offseason we'll find our DC.

Oh i agree. I'm just trying to figure out why we are having such a hard time getting a DC in here and Marvin is sitting there and we know how Mike feels about Marvin ("He's my friend" - and Mike probably doesn't have many of those), and Marvin made progress with that unit and well, you get the picture.

Really wouldn’t mind Marv coming back as DC. He had the defense playing much better

Marvin returning to serve as DC would be the most awkward and utterly Bengal-esque thing ever. In no universe would I want that to happen. I was completely joking by throwing his name in there.

Id agree if someone on Offense had experience or even some assistant coaches on D had experience. But no experience calling plays no where on either side of the ball? That is a recipe for disaster, and we look to be in the kitchen with all the ingredients.

He did have them playing better but I don't want him anywhere near this team. His time is over.

A HC with no experience is one thing...but literally every guy they hire has little experience.
This could end up being a trainwreck.
It's definately a Red Flag that all these guys are turning down the job. They may see ZT as in over his head.

I would rather have the defensive coordinator for Bobby Bushay in Waterboy than Marvin Lewis

I’m actually excited about Callahan, myself. I was very impressed with him in that lockeroom interview he gave. Seems like a sharp, well spoken young guy. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a hot HC candidate in the next few years.

No doubt RKR. Marv would be fine for any other team except this one.
Anyone but him or Austin please...
Rooting for Pleasant or Elko.

Whoever the DC pick ends up being it will be on Taylor's head. He's either rejected or been rejected by the best candidates out there.
An interview goes both ways. It's not just "do we think this guy can do the job," it's also "do I want to do the job under that HC".
It's a red flag.
