Oline coach from the 2nd best Oline (Oakland) is free...
Adam Caplan @caplannfl 3m3 minutes ago
Two coaches of note on #Raiders staff who have expiring deals: OC Bill Musgrave and OL coach Mike Tice.
Will the Bengals seek upgrade from Alexander? Doubt it. They've already blew it by letting Munchak get to the Steelers. Maybe it's too much to ask to seek upgrades to position coaches that have struggled or their scheme is severely outdated by 25 years.

Man, that would be great if we went after Tice. Just sounds way too good to be true.
I would love it if we grabbed Musgrave and Tice. This would improve our team more than anything.
Offense would immediately be ten times better.

If I owned this team, Tice would be here today.

Why the hell would Oakland not resign him?

Paul Alexander is here until Mike passes away. Probably even after. He's essentially a part of the Brown family at this point (God only knows why, maybe he shares the Brown affinity for Wendy's burgers?)

Yeah, he's not going anywhere. At the very least, though, could they at least gag him and tie him to a chair on Draft days?

Well wait, I thought you said it's Marvin's team and MB doesn't have anything to do with decisions except not to fire Marvin?

As I said elsewhere, Bengals will do minimal changes as they enter the 2017 season trying to replicate how they entered the 2016 season. Nothin major will change anywhere unless a contract is up. Even Pacman will be back, bet on it. This team is a joke and continue to be until they prove us wrong.

I think Tice and Delrio were contemporaries - played then head coached at the same time. So how do you beat out your contemporary - let him go!

Think you're confusing me with someone else...

You guys just know how to bring me down. Cause you are probably right.
We aren't going anywhere in the Playoffs until PA is replaced. Dalton won't have the time to throw the ball and there
won't be good holes in the running game ever consistently. Don't care if they draft another Center, PA doesn't have a
clue in grading Centers (Bodine) or coaching them up (Gutcheck, Cook, Bodine, TJ).

I was mostly being facetious here, but it still somewhat true. So Mike won't fire Marvin or PA, his two biggest current flaws. Mike still has nothing to do with the overall bulls*** we see on game days. That all falls on Marv

Have a little hope, Nate. I can remember when many around here thought that Bratkowski was a fixture for life.

PA wears the same Cloak of Invincibility as Marvin since he predates him.

Why wouldn't Oakland resign the coach? Sounds fishy..

I'm pretty sure Mike Tice is looking for an upgrade to offensive coordinator or, ideally, to head coach somewhere.

Paul Alexander is here until he retires.
Everything in this post is my fault.

That is true! Thanks Sunset, i will have a little hope. :andy:
BTW, if Tice wants an upgrade i would take him over Zampese as our next OC.

Am ok with giving him the OC job and bumping Zampese back down to QB coach.

Eh, i like Lazor as the QB coach. Put Zamp somewhere else if he wants to stay here.
