Again, if they fire Zac,  Eric Bieniemy would be my choice. 

Zac can be dealt cards from the bottom, middle and top of the deck. Doesn't change the fact we've been stuck with a High School level coach trying to tread water in the NFL...

Someone who will run up into the front office, tell them they are getting a GM, real players, real assistant coaches, a scouting department and that their old school, failing at success, way of doing things is over. Then flips over a desk on his way out the door.

You could let Zac pick from any part of the deck; top, bottom, middle, doesn't matter. He'll still draw a Joker. Every time.

To be honest I'm most interested in a HC who operates by putting the players in the best position to win. That has been sorely missing with Taylor and his band of misfits.

Here's the traits I'd want in the next HC.

1. Believes in running the ball.
2. Believes in having a strong OL.
3. Believes in a pressure defense.
4. Believes in results over talk.
5. Has a record of success.

Hey Holic, can you make this into a poll?

Jerry Glanville?

It will be Darrin Simmons.

And, depending on the coordinators, I am 100% fine with that.

He was terrible when he was in CLE in the early 2010's.
But he's been good in BUF.
When looking at the QBs he's had in his stops, he has a good QB now who can execute his scheme. Perhaps it was the QB who was holding back his offense when in CLE.

Ultimately, would the Bengals get the BUF version of Daboll or would they get the CLE version?

Good points, but remember even the greatest coach of all time wasn't great in Cleveland lol

I just like what Daboll has done with Allen and that Bills Offense. Bet he would definitely be an upgrade over Taylor.

Possibly.

We'll never know whether someone who is a good OC/DC would make a great HC. It's really a different skill set.

Reading all the reports on the Twitter-sphere, they're saying Zach is more than likely coming back. Yikes

I'm flabbergasted that a coach with 4 wins in 2 years still has defenders/apologists.

Same.

Another name that popped into my head is Gary Kubiak. Has tons of experience. Can put together a good staff. Respected around the league. Has Cousins playing his best football. Cook is playing his best football. They have a balanced attack with heavy play action. Really effective with their run blocking scheme. I would probably prefer him over Bienemy because of his experience level. Not sure if he would want to come here though.

Gary Kubiak won't come to Cincy. Before they interviewed Zac Taylor they asked Kubiak to interview first he turned it down.

Wow that’s depressing! Well back to looking for an up and coming coach then.

Yeah, just don't understand it at all. There's literally nothing to defend at this point. The guy has just been insanely bad, and what's worse is he doesn't seem to learn from his mistakes. He's stubborn as hell, and has a pretty big ego for someone that's accomplished so little. I've said it before, but he actually reminds me a lot of Mike.

Basically a few guys here met him once and he was really nice to them.

Shula was a nice guy too, but he made a far better steakhouse owner than he did a head coach.
