Yea that will show them.........

Well, hopefully, if he goes, he goes before Hue Jackson is scooped up by someone else too, and we have to look for a new OC!!!

So long Jay.

[jj22]

We'll be fine with Hue or Whiz...

Lol Joe Reedy provided this link for us. We can track Jay as he flies to Jacksonville.

Thought Horton was their top choice now?

[Aj Dalton]

it doesnt matter to us. I would love to see Hue Jackson taking over as our offensive coordinator.

I wonder why Hue had to settle for a job lower on the pole than equipment manager after being canned for burying the Raiders?

He didn't.

I wouldn't mind seeing what Jackson could do with the offense. Gruden came into the league facing a tough situation with the Bengals offense. No offseason coupled with trying to teach a new offensive system to the team including a rookie qb and wr. Now I know he really stank it up toward the end of last season, but it was still impressive what he did with little time.

If he does go somewhere else I wish him the best of luck as he seems like a good guy. With that said I am looking forward to what a fresh face could bring to this offense whether it be Jackson or someone like Whisenhunt.

Your boy "JB" James Brown has a more important, respected position than assistant special teams coach.

The only reason Hue isn't selling cologne out of the back of his truck is because the Raiders are still paying him.
The Bengals are basically only giving him gas money to collect footballs.

"I still think in the end it's going to be Jay Gruden," Clayton said. "I can't see Bruce Arians wanting to just get a head coaching job. I mean this guy; he's got a great situation. Why leave Andrew Luck? He's that good." Clayton believes Arians will get plenty of offers next offseason and has no reason to rush into a situation -- particularly if it ends up being a poor fit.

"If you're attached to Andrew Luck and you are as good as coach as [Arians] is why leave him? You'll get offers next year," Clayton said.

Even if the Cardinals made Arians an offer, Clayton is not convinced he will accept.

I'm with Clayton. Arians will continue to help Luck develop and find the right fit at the right time. AZ will want Gruden because of his development of Andy. If he could get a young QB to play to the level Andy did as a rookie, he very well could have a playoff team.

Fingers, toes, and eyes crossed.

[timmanis2000]

Man I hope they go with Gruden..

[Shady]

If he goes anywhere else and sets the world on fire, we'll have a clearer picture of where the problems lies.

[Aj Dalton]

Congrats to our new offensive coordinator....Hue Jackson! The guy is a genius I love his play-calling, he's gonna get the ball to AJ at least 15 times a game. Marvin planned it all along when he recruited Hue back to Cincy.

I like Grudens mentality. He is just as agressive on the sidelines as Zimmer...I think Dalton needs to be protected more...Let Micheal Johnson go (inconsistent)....& sign Cliff Avril....Let Andre Smith walk because he can easily get beat by a fast DE that will run around him..so ..i think we should draft OT Oday Aboughi...2 big contracts Mike Brown can get out of paying...while picking up Avril.

You want to let go of Michael Johnson?! C'mon man, that's ridiculous. If being "inconsistent" gets a DE 11.5 sacks a year, an interception and a fumble recovery, then by all means, get a few more of those inconsistent DE's please. Only eight players in the NFL, one of which is Atkins, had more sacks. Of those 8 players, 2 had less tackles then MJ, and only two of those top 8 had an interception. Of the five players tied at 11.5 sacks, none had as many tackles as MJ. The biggest area he needs to improve upon is his forced fumbles. Most of the top sack collectors in 2012 had atleast three FF's. The dude had an above average year for a DE and there's no reason to believe he cant be even better in 2013.
