Meh, they no longer need to sell out games to get that sweet TV advertising money & the Mike Brown Home for Wayward Youth will still get their donations from the NFL profit-sharing scheme.

Also Bengals have a rule you can't interview for another position unless it's a head coaching position. Honor your contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I wonder if the Bengals blocked Guenther from interviewing because he asked them to. To keep him from turning down his bud, Gruden. Maybe he thinks he has a shot at the HC job here (or MikeandKatie have whispered in his ear... "Some day, this will all be yours..."). Also seeing that Vance Joseph is a hot prospect for HC. And we have... the Goofy of the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't change the fact that just because a guy has been in the same position for years does not mean he is bad at his job. Just last year Sports Illustrated picked Paul Alexander as the best O-line coach in the league. Over the first 8 years that PFF kept rankings on Offensive lines the Bengals unit ranked number one in pass protection. And they were consistent alos. They were ranked lower than 6th only once. The Bengals have struggled with run blocking over the past few years, but PA is a pass blocking guru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it. Joseph's defense was ranked 29th or so this year and didn't do anything to stop the Stealers yesterday. I know they a lot of injuries but that defense was real bad.

Kidding aside - what good is a pass block ranking when the run blocking sucks? Why does Alexander get a free pass when his unit does half of the job really well?

Miami has no talent at LB or in their secondary...their best CB is a former WR and their best LB is Kiko Alonso. Give him some talent and see what he can do, not to mention the Dolphin started the season 1-4 but won 9 out of 11 games to finish. That shows that once this coaching staff got everyone on the same page they were able to win consistently despite have a not so talented roster. Everywhere he has gone the teams have a had success, it's not a coincidence. Hell MB wanted him to replace Marvin but he will probably be off the market before that is an option.

Sometimes position coaches or coordinators don't want to be a HC, they are comfortable in their current role and don't want to change. The grass isn't always greener and many times coaches end up back where they started, i.e. DC promoted to HC, doesn't work out, goes back to being a DC. In hindsight if they would have just stayed a DC they wouldn't have had to move their family, change teams, experience the stress of getting fired, etc..

fredtoast Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I am still confused. Can someone answer this question for me? If Guenther is not under contract with the bengals for '17 then how can they block him from interviewing with other teams? Guenther signed a three-year deal in January '14. 2016 was his last season. I can not find anything anywhere that says he has re-signed with the Bengals. What am I missing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
