I gotta believe that Rapien knows something bc Lupoi as a candidate is just not a name you pick out of the air. Eberflus and Graham have experience as pro DCs… the others as NFL position coaches, and in Power 5 college programs. I’ve always liked Leonard as a smart, less talented player and I’m not surprised he’s well-regarded as a coach. I like the fact that Eberflus has had successful runs as a DC and really, his defense in Chicago was good, too. He was just over his head as HC. But he’s not old and I’m sure he’d like another shot - so a DC opportunity where he’d have a lot of say-so would be appealing, especially when paired with a top-end Bengals’ offense and good ST crew. I would not rule out Al Golden as a possibility either, only because Golden himself didn't rule it out when asked about it Tuesday. Golden just said he was concentrating on preparing for Penn State, and he wasn't thinking about anything else right now. He could've just said NO, I'M NOT INTERESTED but instead chose not to do so. Golden was on Cincinnati's staff as LB coach when they went to the Super Bowl, and seemingly enjoyed his two seasons with the Bengals. Golden left to become a coordinator at Notre Dame. Does he have interest in being a coordinator at the pro level with an organization he is already familiar with?

January 12Jan 12 comment_1783507 Kind of curious that all the defensive staff is getting let go except for the 2ndary coaches.

January 13Jan 13 comment_1783637 I dont get why its difficult to interact with people in the Bengals part of this site without being a dick. None of that was necessary, were all fans of the team and want them to do well, we just have disagreements about what we think is the best way to do that.

Suffice to say I have been on many boards over the years with Spicoli (and we’ve tangled a time or two)…and his knowledge of the game is superior. If he says something, you can damn well know it’s not just opinion.

He's been no more right than most members His recent behavior as been nothing but a negative nuisance Hopefully he regains a positive input here instead of acting like a complete bitch.
