It's not like the Bengals are exactly knocking on the door to a world championship, here.  Furthermore, the NFL is full of people who got where they are because they simply can't settle for 2nd best, otherwise about half of the starting QBs in the NFL would be leaving their jobs in an attempt to sit the bench in New England or Seattle.  How would you feel if Andy Dalton said "I like being the Bengals' starting QB, but I envy Tyrod Taylor because he got a ring throwing 0 passes in Baltimore."

If an OC doesn't want to be a HC, he might be a big ol' loser, and big ol' losers don't make it to the NFL.

I would have said that before analytics started working in basketball. Basketball feels like a harder sport to make analytics work for than football, so of it's working there...

Baseball is individuals on a team.  Football is all about 11 men working together.  Is a guy taking up two blockers every play?  How does that show up.  Is a receiver blocking downfield for other people?  Stats don't tell the story like they do in baseball.

It's called "Nothing has worked yet so let's keep trying wacky stuff until we land on something that works."

Hire them all, Hue.  It might a hundred man march to fix that mess.

Hue is so full o' malarkey that I expect him to run for office once this Browns debacle is over.

If he gets to 8-8, he can be Mayor of Cleveland.  If he gets to the playoffs, they'll make him king.

100 texts total probably from 5-7 coaches.
