Bengalsucker,

I expect improvement next year as well, but you’re ready to dump Dalton after 3 years? That’s silly.
This team is young and has a brighht future ahead of it. Let’s not get greedy. We’ve been NFL doormats for too long to turn back now.

—————–

This is a different sport man. We can’t wait 5 years like the Steelers did for Bradshaw to finally click. When you have rookies coming out and performing like Wilson, RGIII and Luck, there’s no reason to wait years for a QB to develop. Dalton’s #’s last year weren’t even close to those rookies this year. I even heard exactly what I said over and over again by analysts stating year 3 is the year for QB’s because if they haven’t clicked by then, they’re not going to. Mark it, if Andy doesn’t improve much next year, the talk will be to find another QB. I guarantee it. A 2nd year guy shouldn’t be taking a sack rather than throwing the ball away. And some of the decisions he makes are god awful. Unacceptable even for a 2nd year guy.

Please do Cincy a huge favor and take one of the two jobs… Take Marvin Lewis with you!!!

Please, someone sign this second coming of Dave Shula away from the Bengals. Relatives of famous coaches should be banned from employ by the Bengals. They all are busts.

Shula, err… Gruden is either incompetent or unwilling to go up against Marvin Lewis, essentially giving up on the promised so-called West Coast Offense for Marvin-ball. Marvin was a good defensive coach, not an offensive genius.

It is the OC’s job to point out to the HC when he does something stupid, like pass incomplete six straight times to end the Dallas game, allowing them time to kick the game winning field goal as time ran out. Four running plays and Dallas would never of been in range and the game would have been in the bag.

I thought the improvement with the Bengals this year was the defense. He should be lucky to be asked to HC.

Just please don’t come to the Eagles…

Oh you mean a team that goes 12-4 isn’t calling you moron. It’s an interview not offer. That’s why this guy is known as Gruden light.

If Gruden leaves, I think Hue Jackson will be his replacement. Mark it down.

Well if that’s the case, Marvin better watch his back. Mark that down too.

Some things are best unsaid!
It’s certainly beneficial to go through the coach search process for informational purposes for future, but he probably shouldn’t tell his suitors that he just jerking them around; what an idiot!

Well since my original comment was deleted for whatever reason, I’ll make it short. I hope someone hires Jay to be an HC somewhere so we can get Hue Jackson in as our OC. Then I give Marvin and Dalton 1 more year. If we don’t make the playoffs or pull another 1 and done, I’d be booting Marvin and looking for another QB.

Brother Jon may have advised most teams under what conditions he would even discuss taking the head coach job. Those and $ may reduce the numbers/interest from some teams. My bet is he still ends up picking between 2-3 teams and/or getting a big bonus from ESPN to stay.

I am a little confused what you mean here when you say, “Just please dont come to Cleveland your horrible.” A combination of idiocy and lack of comprehension of the English language is clearly at issue here.

From what I can deduce, you don’t want Jay Gruden to come to Cleveland because he is terrible.

Cleveland. Really? While Cleveland has a great RB, probably the best in the AFCN, including Ray Rice, they are years away from competing. While my beloved Bengals are FINALLY coming out of the cellar of sports futility and can at least MAKE it to the playoffs, we just need to finally WIN a playoff game. Jay Gruden may or may not be a part of making that happen, but he is certainly not “horrible.”

As a Bengals fan I can only pray that this guy gets one of those head coaching jobs..
Here’s to Norv Turner as the Bengals OC for 2013

Whatever, but if you return to the Bengals, improve your game plan management and play calling.
Playoff game and you feature Gresham over Green?
that’s brutal!

“I have every intention of staying” is the go-to line for a coach who wants to keep his options opening without angering his current team or it’s fans.

All it means is that right now, before he has spoken to anyone to see what was being offered, he “intends” to stay put.

Subject to change, of course, without notice.
