unleashed Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 On an unrelated(possibly) note, Singletary has been interviewing for LB coach since he doesn't have the knowledge of an entire defense to be a D-coordinator. Supposedly interviewing with the vikings this week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Montana Bengal| Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Since we are off topic...Just saw a few tweets indicating that the fins are apparently keeping Sparano And Harbaugh may be back at Stanford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you are telling me is the special teams coach, WR coach, LB coach and so on are not important?

DumbestBengalsFan Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 [quote name='Stevie Richards' timestamp='1294368843' post='959308'] Yeah. Fuck this! Get ready for blackout city boys. Only game that'll sell out will be when stooler fans come in and buy up all the tickets. Was Mike and Marvins press conference the biggest fucking con job ever or what!? [b] Can't believe this shit is happening (if true) then its fucking sad.[/b] [/quote] ROFL. Really? This shit surprises you? Why? This team never changes. Half of the assistant coaching staff has been here at least ten years. It took them how fucking long to get rid of that fat-ass Bresnahan again? And MB loves Brat; he's another one of MB's "redemption" projects (research the man and you'll see what I mean). Hell, the only thing that surprised me was that MB even brought Marvin back. I fully expected Brat to take over as HC. There is nothing in this world that MB loves more than collectively fucking the fans right up the ass. I watched the press conference and LOLed at the poor fuckers who I imagined expected something more. Just being honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Richards Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Greatest Bengals Fans I hear. Should have known better.

In fact, go try watching the thing again, it's up on bengals.com still. You'll see that the hints were already loud and clear during the conference. I just can't help but laugh when I see Mike slap Marvin in the side when Lap's asking a question and whisper "I'm gonna answer this one" like some fucking mob boss. Marvin is looking into space like a guy full of guilt, like he has just caved in and soul his soul to MB just to make some more bucks. And then MB saying "I don't sit around and dictate while Marvin acts like a puppet-- that's not how it is!" ROFL! The whole thing was a sham, just like the last 20 years of so-called football.

BengalsFanNY Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Add me to the list of people cancelling DirecTV Sunday ticket if this goes down. Something 'big' changing is not a LB coach leaving, an indoor practice facility or bigger towels for the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Get rid of Fitz and no one else? I don't even think they should get rid of him. You all better hope this isn't true. Because either I am going to stay off of this message board until Brat is fired, or I am going to be one unbearable son of a bitch until they prove shit on the field and win some playoffs games. I am telling you, I will be incensed, infuriated and a lot of other adjectives like that.

Stevie Richards Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I just don't see what Fitzgerald's done, or didn't do to be canned (if true). Just dunno about all this anymore. How in the hell can mike hold that press conference and think he actually won over fans and season ticket holders? Oh, I know. He said by "winning". Ok. Same staff, same players and you didn't win....what's the big difference going into next year with virtually everything the same?

[/quote] that's a far cry from having info on coaches getting fired, which Katie, Mike and Marvin would keep very close to the vest. I can't find contract length, but if there is ANYTHING to this, its probably more likely that the real information is "Jeff Fitzgerald is the only coach not currently under contract." This was his 3rd year with the Bengals, and I feel like he signed a 3yr contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
