Even if you don't want to hire him, he might the Ravens DC in two years, and you've had the opportunity to sit him in a room and get him to explain his scheme and how he thinks in depth. If you've already decided on Golden, why not interview the Ravens LB coach and the Stealers secondary coach for scouting purposes??? "So, how do you like to disguise coverages again?? Let's break down some tape." Brilliant idea, Lost. Why not? It costs money (flights, meals, lodging)…and Bengals’ management just doesn’t recognize the potential benefit??? 1/2 🥷 1 Quote

Florio's theory is the Bears called the Stealers, not with an expectation that Tomlin is available, but to signal to potential hires that they are willing to pay up for a coach. Tomlin is thought to be one of the 5 highest paid NFL HCs and Ben Johnson supposedly got 13.5 mil on his new deal. That's better than typical new head coach money of around 8 mil. Of course Zac probably still doesn't make that much. 1 Quote

LostInDaJungle Posted January 21 Report Posted January 21 Highest paid NFL head coach and new star of "The Wire", Mike Tomlin. Quote "Man, Money Ain't Got No Owners, Only Spenders." 1 Quote
claptonrocks Posted January 21 Report Posted January 21 Mediocre Mike would get many job offers for a HC if he was free from Pittsburgh.. Hate the team but Tomlin has kept them relative for yrs. Hrs not going nowhere.😎 1 Quote
sparky151 Posted January 21 Report Posted January 21 Tomlin is a good coach. The NFL is a passing league and he got them to the playoffs with not much at QB or WR. 1 Quote

sparky151 Posted January 21 Report Posted January 21 Seems like a desperate and unimaginative hire. McDaniels will have less to work with this time compared to when he had Brady, Gronk, Welker, etc. Quote
Jamie_B Posted January 22 Report Posted January 22 Jags fired their GM because none of their Coaching candidates wanted to work with him. Their fans had been calling for his head. Quote
dex Posted January 22 Report Posted January 22 Looks like Trey Brown is one of the 3 finalists for the Jets GM job. They interviewed a ton of guys for the position, but it seems like only 3 have been invited back for second interviews. I'm torn on this. I would like the draft compensation that would come with a Trey Brown hire for the Jets, but worry that he might be the most effective person in the Bengals front office. Quote

Brown has only been here since 2021, do we think we were horrible drafting before 2021? Quote
