Kazkal Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Maybe brat will be gone.Brad Childress isn't on my short list but I'm glad that Marvin is at least looking at other options. If he was satisfied with Brat he wouldn't be talking to Childress Ya Childress was one of few people I really didn't want? but over brat? hell yes...

volcom69 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I would take Brad over Brat any day of the week. If they would hire Brad i wonder if they would go back to the west coast offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'm surprised this hasn't been talked about yet, It's been under discussion in the Brat Watch thread since early this morning.But in any event I highly doubt Childress is a candidate of any sort of job in Cincy since he's still getting checks from Ziggy Wilf for two more years. Why go to work for Mike Brown when you can sit on your butt for the next 24 months and earn $6 million? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Is more than one space monkey available?If so, I'd gratefully replace the two loon platoon with a pair of space monkeys. ok, ok, you got me - one space monkey then. But he has to get all his meals at McDonald's, just like Ochodroppo. sheesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why go to work for Mike Brown when you can sit on your butt for the next 24 months and earn $6 million?Because he likes to coach? how many coaches just sit on their ass after they get fired? most if they can find another job in the NFL take it....Cinci if interested would be one of the few places where he would get to call the plays...While he has been known to run a West Coast system, it is more run based than others. He’s also been longtime friends with defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. Childress knows Zimmer’s father well from when Childress was an assistant at the University of Illinois and Zimmer’s dad was coaching Lockport Central High School.Plus this.

volcom69 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 If they would hire Brad, then i hope they change all the offense coaches. Alexander has to go, its past his time, Sheppard goodbye enough with him also, i really never minded Zampese but Carson has not improved much, Anderson can stay though i dont mind him as running backs coach. I just want a big change on offense whatever it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows though whats going to happen, i would take Brad here over Brat anyday. I live near Phila, and he was a great offense coach when he was in Phila, and there is a reason why he got a HC job. I feel Brett ruined his carrer with the Vikings, and would be a great offense mind here and would help out big time. So this move would make me happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know since the Bengals take forever to make any moves, plus he would have to fire Brat. The Browns could hire him right away since they have nobody in that spot. Knowing the Bengals Brad will walk away without a deal and go to Clevland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I could see that browns get him because bengals wanna wait until after senior bowl,though wouldn't it make more sense to get the new guy in so he can help judge talent of the players you may be drafting? ohwell Until he's hired somewhere else I'll have small glimmer of hope....now if he would dine with someone to replace Alexander.

jjakq27 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 http://www.allproblo...1/chilly-rumor/Thornton says.....Since everyone is getting worked up over this Brad Childress eating dinner with Marvin Lewis rumor, I thought I'd give my two cents on it. I asked someone from the Bengals their thoughts and they said it was the first they heard about it. So if they didn't hear, Marvin could be just getting ideas from Chilly. Or my peeps could just be keeping quiet. But given the loyalty that the Bengals show their employees, I doubt Brat would get fired at this point. Why take him to Senior Bowl, make him coach, then fire him? If Chilly came in, I see him as a offensive consultant, kinda like Tom Moore is in Indy. Childress is still getting paid for the next few years by the Vikings, he signed a big extension last season. So coming to Cincy would have to be a good situation for him, stepping stone for next job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before coming to Cincinnati, Bratkowski was receivers coach for the Steelers.However, both Bratkowski and Bengals receivers coach Mike Sheppard are both under contract for 2011.This also isn't be the first time Bratkowski's future has been cast in doubt before the Senior Bowl. Two years ago there were rumors that Hue Jackson was a candidate to become offensive coordinator here only to see him stay in Baltimore for another year.

Sea Ray Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 So what was the point in changing the offense that got you to win the afc north???? I dont understand, just because you bring in TO dosnt mean you have to throw the ball more. So whats the big overhaul changes that we are going to see???? This team is one big secretReason #1 is it wasn't a very good offense. They won the division on defense that year and the idea was to try to go beyond 2009's success and maybe even win a playoff game. So where do you improve? Simply put the O showed a lot more room for improvement than the D. OK, so I think we have a concensus that the team has decided that with the impending lockout, they don't want to install a new offense. With that in mind, would you go for a rearranging of the deck chairs? Would you like to see Zampese given the OC keys to run the same offense with his own tweaks or would another year of Brat be preferable with Childress looking over his shoulder?Given our options, I still want Brat gone. I'm willing to take my chances with someone else running the offense, even a "rookie" like Zampese.With all Marvin has said, I'm still not sure if he understands that the offense needs more discipline. He needs an OC who will keep them after practice until they "get it right" if need be. I want to see better execution first and foremost.
