Oldcat Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Mike Brown will be 80 this August so he will decide (or maybe already has) to officially retire to spend more time with the grand kids (and probably be given the title of Life President) Marvin will 'move upstairs' to become GM Hue will become Head Coach and The Dynasty begins. Write it down. As has been said, it's a bit too early for PG to be going anywhere just yet so you would just need a new OC. I'm guessing the Bengals would go down the road of Zampese or Urban which would be pretty much in line with how they've been doing things the last few years.* *None of this may actually happen. My guess is Marvin's title will be "Director of Football Operations" or some such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essex Bengal Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 My guess is Marvin's title will be "Director of Football Operations" or some such. I probably should have said Marvin to move upstairs 'in some capacity'. I just have a feeling that Hue is going to be the next HC and that it may have been in the pipe line for some time.

Hue's year of coaching on defense is also good evidence for that I do find it annoying that when we get a good coordinator the talking heads just can't stop talking about how they should move on, like it is our duty to lose good coaches.

membengal Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Weston, I am sorry you thought that personal, didn't mean it that way. I find you to be a rather negative/pessimistic poster over the years - and this seemed like another example of that - seeing a downside in the longterm to the bengals playing well. I think this board too often in the past has wallowed in the negative - and react strongly to that. If you felt personally singled out, I apologize.

That happens everywhere. I don't think many people talked about Brat for head coach options though LOL. OR Bresnahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you felt personally singled out, I apologize. +1 FWIW I think the board as a whole and Weston in specific has been much less negative and combative and the board generally has a much improved atmosphere of late. This has a draw back of less pages in some threads as much of the mud slinging and flame wars are now gone. The plus side to this is that I have been seeing many posters coming out of the woodwork and feeling more free to participate in the conversation because there is less fear of being flamed. In all I think things have made a turnaround for the better, and I really appreciate you and everyone else's efforts in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I once told you, when there is stuff to criticize people do, right now there is very little to be critical about (the only minor issue I can think of is YPG in running game) so we can praise them, they are easily one of the top 3 teams in my mind.

I also think there has been a total shift in people being patient with other people's opinions. We had a ton of black and white thinking before and now it seems that someone says something and people are genuinely willing to explore the gray or let people parse out their ideas or thoughts. You don't have to agree with everyone, that would be boring. You should show everyone respect. I remember when people said I was trolling for saying we should look into Kirk Cousins. It was absurd. Here is an idea, what do you think of it was met with, you step out of this tiny box of thinking you get shunned. No more. And I think it's way better. More voices, means more people with different ways of looking at things are chiming in which, means things are seen from all different directions. It's a good thing for certain.

VonBlade Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 No, that's cool. Just delete my post which wasn't a personal attack at all without mentioning it. Assuming both our coordinators leave, I'd like Chip Kelly as OC and Mike Zimmer as DC please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But acting like it wasn't worth the discussion and was trolling was the issue. And he had a passer rating over 100 the last two games. You can't cherry pick this one game and suddenly call him horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 That's definitely the kind of turnover game that the Bengals need to fake take the next step as an offense... What about his play the previous two weeks? Just ignore that. It doesn't fit your narrative about me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't call him anything, mostly because I've never wanted him on my team. As for his inconsistent passer rating, throwing for over 400 yards one week and then tossing 4 interceptions the next makes me want to point fingers at Cousin's offensive coordinator. And speaking of Jay Gruden, Washington fans are already grumbling about how he's wasting the talents of Alfred Morris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he had a passer rating over 100 the last two games. You can't cherry pick this one game and suddenly call him horrible. Loving how MW is creating threads entitled "Replacing the Coordinators" during one of our most promising seasons ever, and then, within the very same thread, accuses others of trolling. Priceless. But hey, let's file it all under "hypothetical" or "just for discussion" and then we can get away with asinine shit and wasted threat space like talking about whether these 4 or 5 guys who can't even find a roster spot should replace Andy Dalton or who our next coordinators should be. Cherry picking? LMAO. Alternatively, heads could be extricated from asses and Bengals fans could enjoy Bengals successes -- while true trolls would be kicked to the curb. Alas, that's never going to happen here, is it...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
