Mr. WEO Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 53 minutes ago, Buffalo30 said: The comparison that seemed to go over your head was Fisher to another long time coach, Marvin Lewis. It was the first line of the reply... Cincy is a team that is in no mans land with Dalton. I think they know that and will be looking to move on soon, wouldn’t it be nice to have a guy who has worked with QBs for the better part of his career to potentially help a rookie QB? I’m not saying the guy will be good at all but to trash him before he even coaches a game or we know anything about the direction they are taking the team, is just too much of a knee-jerk reaction for me. Then make him QB coach. Making him HC makes no sense for the purpose you are describing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to disagree. For the record, I’m not saying he will be a good coach, I’m saying that I think that the risk in this move is more calculated than fans are willing to admit. Having a HC that gets the best out of their QB is one of the top attributes to have IMO and one that very few defensive coaches and some offensive coaches don’t have. That being said, what do they do with Dalton? If Dalton stays for more than a year, I’d be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Maybe hiring a young guy for HC without any strong NFL connections might be a poor choice?? Lewis was a lid on a dumpster fire that has been Cincinnati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Rex would probably get in. If you just told him he could do whatever he wants with the Defense and run his fat mouth as much as he wanted. They have talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the team covers for the coach. Not saying that is the case here but it could be, especially with the litany of declines they have had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if I were offered an interview for a better paying job, but at a less pleasant place of employment, I wouldn't really care what bridge I burned if I declined. I mean, we're not talking Josh Daniels/ Indy here. I understand the NFL and the "club" part of it, but hell, he may not even have been offered the position after interviewing. Just my random 2 cents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that a DC job for an organization with a wet behind the ears offensive minded HC and a history of patience with a defensive minded HC wouldn't be such a hard sell.

Waiting until after the SB to hire a HC puts you way behind everyone else. I’m not sure if this guy was worth doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
