LostInDaJungle Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 And just to get this out of the way... Tampa Bay is a slum wedged between a retirement community and the countries #1 destination for strip clubs. (Ybor City) Unless you dig the shuffleboard hall of fame or catching herpes there's not much to do except catch cholera in the Gulf of Mexico.

A head coach does not want to have to ask Daddy every time they want to make a move, and have to keep around charity case coaches because they are 'loyal'.

UncleEarl Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I am simultaneously excited to see Lewis go, but frightened by the prospects of who Mike Brown may hire. Life as a Bengals fan. Little has changed in 28 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How Eric Garner lost his life selling loosies in Indian Hills. Seriously man, Ohio is in the midwest so it's assumed to be racist, but if you think it has anything on New York for police brutality, I'm not sure where you get your news. It’s pure nonsense. Almost nothing has happened in Cincy since 2001 other than disrespectful NFL douchebags getting arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that it happens everywhere. And as someone who has to live 2 doors down from some jackass with a confederate flag in his front yard the thought that Cincy is somehow special in this regard is just quaint.

GREEN BAY needs a coach..... this was a terrible year to need a coach.... Well, regardless of the basic quality of life questions, here are some pros/cons for these locations IMO: Denver: Pros - good roster, nice city Cons - no QB, completely unpredictable boss (Elway) who likely has full personnel and game day control. Miami: Pros - ok roster, nice city for some things (not necessarily an NFL coach with a family), attractive to FA's. Cons - inconsistent QB (to put it mildly), muddled roster of underachievers... flood risk New York: Pros - some good pieces, can live in a good spot (a number of choices), young QB with potential Cons - as stated previously, red-headed step child situation, yet a must-win-or-GTFO city/history. Consistent playoffs is a must - and right away. Arizona: Pros - some good pieces, young QB with potential. Cons - Commitment of management seems iffy, brain-melting heat. Cleveland: Pros - excellent young defense, solid pieces on offense. Cons - New management seems to control game-day decisions, QB is a full-time ego management situation, owner is fuckin crazy, city is horrible, fans are horrible - potential Jacksonville-like "decent one year, fall off a cliff next year" situation because of management and player apathy/dysfunction. Cincy: Pros - good roster with a mix of vets with leadership qualities and young guys with potential that should be able to compete right away. QB who is a proven winner (except playoffs... heh). Owner is not going to fire you unless you ask him to <--- big one!, make a winner out of this team and you're pretty much a guaranteed coach of the year candidate. Cons: City is meh, fans are meh (but loyal), limited control that forces you to fight with the owner/GM/angry grampa. Scouting department is a work in progress at best. Little chance of attracting (or even pursuing) good free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Go’s checklist the head coaching job in Cincinnati is far more sought after than Green Bay. 99% Coservative white population with No nightlife and total shit weather.

gupps Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 What worries me the most is that after an "exhaustive" weeks long search for a new head coach all of the most desirable candidates will be scooped up by other teams. We get the consolation prize of Hue Jackson because, well, third times charm right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thezerawkid Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 which is CLEARLY why i said millionaires with a choice. marvin was an up and coming coordinator that worked out (as far as percentages go). we are talking about coaches with a history of success who will be offered several jobs, barely known coordinators getting a first chance.. which for fucks sake was the whole point, which is disturbing that you didnt even catch... i thought it was clear, whats being said is.. NO PROVEN SUCCESSFUL GREAT PLAYERS and proven successful great coaches are coming here for those reasons. SOOO.. . coaches arent going to want to come because its a bunk job with bad ownership, in a shit city with shit weather, playersa rent going to want to come for the same reasons, plus the nightlife, the lack of endorsements, etc. cincinnati is in no way a destination city for professional athletes. sure there are exceptions at every level. but speaking in generalities..... which is why we has seen countless free agents come here and go elsewhere for same or less money. so in closing. denver has a better chance of getting a good coach, miami has a better chance of getting a good coach, new york has a better chance of getting a good coach, arizona has a better chance of getting a good coach, cleveland with a shit city, has a better chance with at least a promising young QB and talented roster has a better chance of getting a good coach, jacksonville may or may not... probably equal, jacksonville sucks. GREEN BAY needs a coach..... this was a terrible year to need a coach.... You still haven’t responded to my response to your original post. I underscored a few significant reasons why you might not know what you think you know.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thezerawkid Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Yeah, but not everyone suffers from your bitter Ex syndrome. I'm from Florida and I wouldn't take the Miami job if it came with mosquito repellent and free blowjobs. Miami fucking sucks. Not everyone shares my opinion or lived there long enough to want to get away. I don't treat it like the word of God that Miami sucks because I think it does.Nope, Miami sucks.Also, people who get on in years and have families tend see their priorities shift. Raising children and having them schooled in a safe, relatively well-adjusted place becomes a priority paramount to market size and exclusivity.Also, and I can’t believe it hasn’t been mentioned yet: fucking job security. I absolutely defy anyone to tell me of another gig in the league that offers the same.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thezerawkid Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 im going to assume, just guessing, you arent a millionaire athlete/coach who can live the most luxurious type of life in or around miami? which is what we are talking about..... i would never want to be anywhere near green bay... but id damn sure take that job over the bengals job.And in one post you submarined your entire logic, man.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah, I got offered a shit-ton of money by Banyan Gaming to work for them in Miami 2 years ago. Told them no. 1) Florida schools suck. They make Mississippi look good. If the north being better didn't raise their averages... 2) Cost of living is astronomical. Even with the "You don't pay state tax", the cost of living difference would have required I make $38K a year extra to maintain my current lifestyle. 3) It's like a 3rd world country. You have the rich in their walled communities and the poor. Almost no middle class. The entire state is 3 inches from the sun, you can't lay on grass without fire ants eating the hell out of you, and even the plant life is trying to kill you. The south of the state is all snowbirds from New Yawk, while the north of the state is just south Georgia. (Joe Dirt) Geographically, the entire state is a giant swamp, and you have hurricanes every other year. If you're lucky, you don't live in one of those places that gets over run by stupid drunk college students 4 months a year. Freakin' paradise man.
