DC/OL wish list

I see lots of fan speculation. Of course, Bengals FO is always tight lipped, so those who say they know any plan to replace coaches needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

We will know the actual plan when the new hires are announced.

Suppose I asked the folks complaining about the possible Golden hire. If they would have preferred Golden over Lou at the end of the season, what do you think they would say?

Zim had me at hello.

Hopefully Zac return his text and at least pick his mind. 

I’d still prefer to let Zim ride off into the sunset of the jungle. He’d need a veteran D to have a quick turnaround. And would bring back Guenther. I’m not feeling nostalgic enough for the a rerun of the greatest hits. 

But it was good to hear from him.

I’d find it highly unlikely Zim makes a return and I certainly hope not. Time passing and all that.
