Is This Organization Serious About winning Or Is It All About The Benjamin's?

[GodFather]

Why aren't the Bengals even considering or interviewing the top candidates for DC like Robert Saleh or Dennis Allen? Is it because they would command more money than the Bengals are willing to pay? They haven't hired a big name coach and this is the perfect time to do so with the offense clicking on all cylinders. The window is here and all the front office seems to be doing is counting pennies instead of putting a serious contender together.

It's one thing if these coaches have no interest coming but to dismiss them without any consideration is ridiculous. This window is open and the front office has alot of things it NEEDS to do right this off season with re-signing the big guys on this team, releasing players to make room for better defensive players and most importantly getting a quality defensive coach to run that side successfully.

Action or lack of actions speak volumes. Get a top defensive coach singed that will finally steer this defense in the right direction.

They could have their eye on someone or they're waiting for the playoffs to end before they reach out to coordinators.

We also just let go of Lou, so I'm not panicking yet.

I'm sure that Zac is in conversations with the front office about who they could potentially bring in.

They also could be waiting to see what free agents they can bring back or bring in, or who they can draft, to see which coordinator's scheme can work best with the players we have.

I would hope it would be the other way around.

Get the guy they like and let him choose what players to go after in free agency that fits the scheme.

Who knows what the Bengals will do? Just glad they are doing something!

They are serious about winning, they just want to win their way.

I would have definitely taken a SB win, but a win would have locked in the MB way for the next 50 years....

Mike Brown is waiting for his next fortune cookie to reveal to him what direction to go.

Thing is they need the new coaches BEFORE Free Agency as the new coaches will be determining the defensive and blocking schemes and scheme fit is crucial.

Neither you, I, nor anyone else not working in the front office have a clue what is going on right now. They could already be in talks with someone. They've already announced their Rooney Rule interviews to get those out of the way. They may have reached out and found mutual interest, or may have been told no. Or, they could have their eye on someone specific who they can't talk to yet. But of course, let's not give them the benefit of the doubt and just act like they are sitting on their hands.

Yeah, they totally deserve the benefit of the doubt after having to hire their 5th choice last time.

This right here.  NO doubt they want to win, the old man is just stubborn about winning "his way"
