Holy moly

Get rid of MJ, and sign Avril? Avril has less tackles and sacks than MJ while not being as good in the run game. Plus the reason Avril has yet to be signed to a long term deal in Detroit is he wants huge money, Jared Allen type money.

I don't know how dumb some of you Bengal fans can be!!! All of you were saying the same exact thing when Bratkowski was coordinator. IT'S NOT GRUDEN!!!!! I'll point my finger to either the line coach, Paul Alexander, or Marvin.

There is a magical secret formula to being a good OC.

You need about 3 play makers, ideally, one is your QB.

Shhhhh. Don't tell anybody.

Look at all of the Belichic disciples that turned into busts. They were not the major reasons for success.

[Bull Durham]

Now we have idiots who want to run Gruden out of town?

Good lord. Now I know why the bengals are cursed. They have so many idiot fans that God decided they don't deserve to ever win a championship.

I will not be convinced until its Breaking News tickering across the bottom of ESPNs screen. Ill believe it when I see it. Lot of people are acting like its a done deal. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid, deal isnt done.

Remember, Clayton is reporting this from his moms house with a box of Chinese next to his desk and Metallica on Pause. He has a rip-away suit for Christ's sake. Can he really be that credible?

It's already pretty obvious where the main problem lies... only a select few of us care to acknowledge it.

"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.

True that. ESPN is the king of reporting things before they happen.
They don't report, they TREND

[XenoMorph]

Well its down to just the arizona job.

It will either be Jay or Bruce..

Or San Frans Offensive coordinator

I actually think it's one of the better jobs available. Team already has a legit defense, a top WR and some other offensive pieces in place.

They get a good to very good QB in the draft and he has success early then you could talk about AZ as a potential wildcard team. He needs to get that QB though.

I wasnt talking about the Talent but the Ownership. They have the lowest paid GM in the league making less than 1 mil a year. I cant imagine what they are offering to the Head coaching Canidates.

But with that D and Fitz they just need a Whole new OL QB and a RB

Whew, I was not the only one to think that!

All Head Coaching Positions have Been Fill Gruden will return as Offensive Coordinator.

End Thread.///

As I've said elsewhere...

GRUDEN MUST GO.

He is AWFUL.

The ONLY stat that matters is that Gruden LOSES to good teams.

1. He cannot move the ball and score points against good teams. Look at Cincy's offensive output vs Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Absolutely wretched. The Giants game now looks like a fluke. The offense did okay against Denver until the 4th quarter when Cincy just needed first downs (not even touchdowns) and couldn't get them. The egg laid vs Miami made me nauseous. The second half of the Cleveland loss made me puke.

2. Gruden is WORSE every time he faces a familiar opponent (usually meaning the second time he faces someone). Good grief, Cincy had just ONE meaningful play in Pittsburgh territory in the win--and that was a pass to get into field goal range. Gruden only beat Balt because our backups played better than Balt's backups. And look at Houston: 19 points, then 10 points, then 6 offensive points. (The only teams' starters that Gruden has beaten in a second meeting were Cleveland in '11, and the offense didn't have a lead until a FG when the clock expired, and Jacksonville in '12--and they were 2-12.)

3. Dalton and Green are NOT progressing. They played in December and January as if they were raw rookies in preseason games. Just completely out of synch. Second seasons are supposed to be much better but this one wasn't when it mattered. There is NO EXCUSE for this passing game falling off a cliff in the second half of '11 and '12. Plus, the pass blocking inexplicably became absolutely atrocious after having a solid stretch of good performances.

4. The IDIOTIC gameplan in the playoffs. Especially that Gruden stuck with it in the second qtr after it failed so miserably in the first qtr. Gruden looked like this was the first game plan he ever made.

5. Gruden CANNOT make in-game adjustments. If his plan doesn't work from the get-go, he has no counter. (If a team is successful getting pressure on Dalton, Gruden STILL calls 5 step drops with long routes--just stupid. And when he calls a screen--that one time in a million--the play is usually botched because he calls them so rarely.) If his plan works, but the other team adjusts to stop it, then Gruden has no counter-adjustment. He simply cannot perform at this level. We've lost way too many games, especially two playoff games (rare gems for this team) because of Gruden. The defense plays its guts out. It deserves better from the offense.

IT'S NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER.

Either (A) Dalton is a good franchise quarterback hamstrung by bad coaching or (B ) Gruden is a good coach and Dalton is a bad quarterback. Why? Because if it's (C) Dalton and Gruden are both performing well, then (D) they both stink and BOTH need replaced. I think it's A.

I am OUTRAGED that Gruden still has his job. I am hoping that Mike Brown didn't fire Gruden simply to make him more attractive to other teams. Otherwise we have yet another incidence of MB's incompetence as a General Manager.

I agree, for the most part.
But now we will just have to wait and see, if he can improve. Because he is the Bengals OC.
So now we just hope. Like every other offseason.
