ArmyBengal Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 It's my way of keeping both in the organization. And one that I would support wholeheartedly. Quote
Stripes Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 I keep wondering if Hue will get any interview opportunities. It's great to have three legitimate head coaching candidates on your staff. Quote
Sea Ray Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 I would much rather lose Gruden than Zimmer if given the choice. Chances are we'll have threads like this after any successful season so the fact that our coordinators are getting called is a good thing if you're a Bengal fan. Think back to the Dave Shula days. How often were our coaches getting called by other teams? Quote
TJJackson Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 I would much rather lose Gruden than Zimmer if given the choice+1I like Jay fairly well but love love love Zimmer as DC Quote
volcom69 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 Give me Hue as OC! Sorry I'm not sold with Gruden, I sometimes think I'm watching an arena team out there with all the passes. Not saying he is awful, but I sometimes wonder about him. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Said it before and will once again, can't say as losing Jay would bother me much.Hue would be just fine as a replacement. Quote
COB Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Cleveland hasn't expressed any interest in Zim. I believe Zim would pass on Redskins HC job, he's just been around long enough to know better.Whoever said Detroit is the likely landing spot - I agree with that. Quote

I believe Zim would pass on Redskins HC job, he's just been around long enough to know better.Whoever said Detroit is the likely landing spot - I agree with that.I doubt he turn down redskins well it's not ideal zimmer just wants chance head coach,if he does leave I'd like be viks or lions I'd be happy root for either one of them Quote
cincyhokie Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 I honestly don't think that he gets a head coaching job. It's not because he couldn't be great as a head coach, he just has a few factors against him.He's a defensive coach and the trend right now is to hire an offensive minded coach.Zimmer is abrasive. He's honest. I actually think he's "too honest" for alot of GM's and owners. If he goes somewhere, it'll be the Vikings. Not the Browns, not the Redskins. Even then it's a longshot. Quote
Stripes Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 If a retread like Josh McDaniels is getting opportunities before Zimmer, then I can do nothing but chuckle. Poor Zim. At least he's happy here, seemingly. Quote

gregcook68 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 If Zimmer goes, sounds like management will likely choose Guenther or Schwartz. Based upon their logic that they'd prefer to keep it in house, probably Guenther.Opinions? Quote

Not a fan of Schwartz but only know him for the looney stuff that happened while he was in Detroit.This might be a stretch but what about DB coach Mark Carrier? Quote

I think he'd be fine with a clearly defined role (a.k.a. not being the man determining roles for others). Quote

COB Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 I just don't want to lose Zimmer. I have a feeling he's going to be a really good head coach, and I don't want him to do that somewhere else. I just don't want to look for a new DC, and none of the in-house guys seem to be anything close to Zim. He's a natural leader, and losing him will be difficult for this team. Quote
Kazkal Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 I will be sad to see him go because he was suppossed be replacement for Marvin if he ever left :|But with that being said I'd become a vikings fan for my 2# team if he does go to them <3 Zimmer Quote
jjakq27 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 Looks like he's the guy. http://msn.foxsports.com/ohio/story/report-bengals-zimmer-close-to-deal-with-vikings-011114 Quote
volcom69 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 Bowles is getting a second interview there also I just read. So who knows what's going on. Losing Zim will hurt, but hopefully the next guy will do just as good if not better. Quote

membengal Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Guys, chill. Each of the three finalists for the Vikings job is getting a second interview. Quote
Kazkal Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Guys, chill. Each of the three finalists for the Vikings job is getting a second interview.But they in contract talks with them? only if they would bring Chilly back ;D Quote
gregcook68 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 I wonder if Brown has talked to Guenther yet?"If Zimmer goes, what would it take to get you to take the DC job?" Quote
