volcom69 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 There are rumors on bengals.com that Zimmer is getting or signed a contract extention. If that is true then that would be pretty big, since Marvin dosnt seem to want to sign one lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yeah, Zimmer played p***yfoot in a press conference today. My takeaway is that the Bengals are prepared to elevate him or Jay if Marvin leaves. You could take it as a good or bad sign depending on where you think Lewis stands, but it's all speculation at this point. But on its own, I've no problem with giving Zimmer a new deal.

But on its own, I've no problem with giving Zimmer a new deal.I'd be ok with Zimmer as a head coach. Players seem to like him despite the fact that he doesn't put up with the slightest bit of s**t. That seems like head coach material to me, even if he doesn't interview well with other teams... because he's too honest.As for Gruden, I think he's gone after this season unless the Bengals offer him the head coaching job. I don't expect Marvin to leave - so I think we can all enjoy the last of Jay Gruden in Cincinnati. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems crazy! I really hope Gruden stays, but your probably right, unless the bengals offense really sucks this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yep, through the 2014 season.It will be interesting to see what happens with Marvin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 FWIW on his chat today, Reedy was asked about a new deal for Marvin, and said that there were some issues on which the two sides didn't see eye-to-eye. What those issues are he didn't get into. Me, I think Marvin's holding out for unlimited free Gatorade, but that's just a guess. The only other thing I found interesting in his chat was a mention that he expects a couple contract extensions in the near future. He declined to name names, but you'd have to think that Atkins and Dunlap are at the top of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I hope atkins is. I wouldnt mind them waiting on dunlap. Incentive for him doesnt seem like an awful idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when they returned to their hotel rooms after the pep rally, they found that all the little soaps and tiny bottles of shampoo and conditioner were gone. Hotel security video showed an unidentified, pear-shaped man entering and exiting their rooms... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he did successfully insert a clause requiring Dan Snyder to pay for all the booze and hookers at the league's annual meeting.

Hopefully they went to the secret service and were able to get some of those Columbian whores flown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
