The Bengals problem to start the season is they don't know who is ready . The preseason games need to be played with a huge incentive to win . That way when the regular season starts Bengals win.
Yep. This is the same front office that made no moves at the trade deadline and did little last off season. Besides being back an aging Von Bell and sign Geno stone at best a back up safety
Bengals fan from the Bay. What Robert Saleh did during his tenure as 49ers DC was quite impressive. I think his stint as Jets head coach showed that he's better fit as a DC than a HC. I think he would be a great fit and would energize the Cincy DEF with his defensive schemes.
Ever since the Jets fired Robert Saleh I have been praying for this guy to be are coach on the facts you just said he is the best Defensive Coach in the NFL and he knows how to get the most out of talented players and we have talent just know direction or a leader they can trust so I couldn’t agree more and if they get him in the building don’t let him leave give him whatever he wants ……
I think we’ll probably end up with Dennis Allen. I wouldn’t be mad at that. He has ties with Zac Taylor and currently doesn’t have a job. He always had a good defensive line as NO’s defensive coordinator, and he’s got ties to Trey Hendrickson as well. I honestly hope we get him.
Agree but he has 2 years on his contract. I doubt short of a total collapse of the team in '25 Opie (Zac) will be back in '26. Tightwad Mike Brown doesnt care about winning...just making money and if they happen to win along the way so be it. Look how long he held onto Marvin Lewis. Hell, I'm sure he hired Zac not because of his credentials but he came from a couple years with Sean McVay (not an OC even under him) and was cheap. Burrow is pissed at Zac (lots of reported conflict between him and Zac). Burrow knows when the team not ready to play and loses its first 2 or this year 3 games their playoff chances go to 11% or less. At 1-4 their chances were 2%. Joe has mentioned they will find out who you can depend on (when they lost to go to 4-8) and who you cant. He wasnt talking just about players but i'm sure he meant coaches as well.
Been a Bengals fan since 1986..... The Brown family is the real problem.....Burrow said it himself....they make a living letting good players go.....they also make poor coaching decisions.... When the contracts are up that player is gone.....Burrow....Chase....Tee...Tre.....it doesn't matter......the Browns see the Bengals as a way to make money......winning doesn't matter and they won't pay to win.
Been thinking and saying this same thing for years. It's so frustrating and sadly the browns are horrible and only care about making money. They do not care about anything else and will probably never sell the team, unfortunately
Good players leave every team every year. D.J. Reader coming off the knee injuries is a run stuffer but no longer the pass rusher he was with us. The screw up was letting Jessie Bates and Joe Mixon walk and not deciding one way or the other on Higgins. Zak Taylor is getting a pass for his own screw-ups like the New England and KC games. Whoever coaches the defense should have full control of the draft guaranteed in his contract.
What happened to them playing like they did in 21 and 22, I know good players were let go, but they all still need to be on the same page. They all need more discipline and no more trash mouth.
I want Selah. Let the old Bengals coaches be just that. Ole boy doing good at Notre Dame, got my boys humping so let him stay where he at & keep building them.
Al Golden would be ideal. Saleh would be fine. Both cerebral and motivators. We need someone that can push the right buttons on high paid professionals.
Al Gordon would be a good option but he is not the choice that the Bengals need they need Robert Saleh he would be able to get in these faces of these defensive players and get the most out of their skills. I mean, just look what he did for the 49ers for five seasons they were top five and almost every category. He’s the best defensive coordinator in the NFL hands-down he just gotta raw deal with the Jets. and I would feel much better knowing that he is our defensive coach because he would take responsibility for bad games and be a standup guy and that’s exactly who they need in that locker room , and I think he would toughen up Zack Taylor from being too nice make him grow some balls…..
Saleh turned the Jets defense from one of the worst in the league to one of the best at one point. I feel that if he wasn’t fired so early in the season that the Jets would be in a better spot. Would love to see him coach the Bengals. Our biggest obstacle is the front office. It’d be so simple to get this right
To all you fools out there, I'm not sure that you remember the fact that the Bengals hadn't won a game in the playoffs since 1990. If Zac can maneuver under the regime of Mike Brown then he is the best fit. As for defense, they lost a lot of guys but so to a lot of other teams. Look at Detroit. Do any of you remember? Mike Brown threatening to move the Bengals many years ago? How many 4 and 12 seasons followed by 3 and 13 and 2 and 14 and maybe an eight and eight.
What about Robert Livingston... he was the DB coach under Lou Anarumo back when the team played in the Super Bowl and he's been the defensive coordinator for Univ of Colorado with Coach Prime since then... he's worked wonders at Colorado... and he has a history with the Bengals. I think... Livingston is the most likely candidate.
Livingston was the first person who came to my mind as well. He's young and has been successful at Colorado. The way I understand, it was when he left, the defense started to fall off.
LOOK I DON'T CARE WHO WE GET AS LONG AS THEYHAVE SUPERBOWL ON THE BRAIN, DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A BIG NAME. CINCINNATI SHOULD BE A DYNASTY. THATS RT I SAID DYNASTY. WE GOT THE BEST QB AND THE BEST 2 WRS BUT THE WORSE HEAD COACH AND SOMEHOW WE NEED TO BE A DYNASTY NO MORE WASTING JOE OR CHASES CAREER
@xarrow81 Tony Dungy made that team. Gruden came in and benefitted from it. I think we are better off maybe with Saleh as DC because he was good in San Francisco but sucked in New York as Head Coach.
They need to bring in experience. A coach with a proven record of building good solid defenses. I am tired of them hiring the next up and coming young coach just because they can save some money.
It doesn't matter who the Bengals defensive coordinator is they're going to spend 3/4 of their salary cap on the offense. Their defense is going to be Peyton Manning's defense at best you better score at least 30 or you don't even have a chance. We don't pay DJ reader 12 million but will give Sheldon rankins 8 million to not even be on the field. Are free agent signings are old guys that are on the back end of their careers like Mike Hilton
is that why their LBs have fallen off so much? new LB coach? I honestly didn’t even know they had a LB coaching change since their Super Bowl apperance.
The Bengals SHOULD HAVE FIRED Zac Taylor AND the Offensive Line Coach, Lou Anarumo, the Defensive Line Coach & Linebackers Coach, which they Did - but, they SHOULD HAVE ALSO FIRED the Secondary/Defensive Backs Coach. Zac Taylor QUICKLY Fired those Assistant Coaches to SAVE his LAME ass. HE IS THE #1 CATALYST after Ownership & the General Manager.
While I agree with some of the firings, I disagree with firing Lou. First, DJ Reader should have been extended. Letting DJ Reader go goes beyond Lou and into the front office. Lou cannot be blamed for injuries either. While they righted the ship in the end, it was too little too late. And yes, the offensive line coach should have been fired!
@chaasadnapash802 no clown, not as long as Zac is there. We will have the same results and the other coaches will be held liable for Zacs blunders. Get real boy
He was always bad. He was not getting offers, he was getting token interviews like every sb coordinator. Never a serious candidate. Would hand lobbed him to leave. No Al Golden!!
Zac will be gone next year if this housecleaning fails. Perhaps he can steal Taylor Swift from Travis. They can have a lovechild, a daughter, name her Taylor Taylor.
@@dustingoff8591 Zac's play calling is not good. He also can not have the team ready for the start of the season. Get another play caller, and have the team ready by sept and he would be fine.
The Bengals are a joke. No one takes anything they do seriously. Remember this, they're lifetime losers. For 60 years they've run their mouth. Bengals will never win a Superbowl. The Chiefs won't allow it. 😂
You’re not wrong but we might have to take the good with the bad until Dax comes back and/or we snag a CB in the draft. I think Josh Newton earned a shot a starting at CB2
Give me Robert Saleh please....
He is the best choice by far.
If the 49ers management has any brains they'll go for Saleh too.
@@anthonytingle6578 ahem Vrabel
Cincy won’t pay him
@@runnn3107 I would not guarantee that.

I agree! I think Dennis would be a great fit. And he's had a good track record of having good defenses
Pick a defensive coordinator that turns the Bengals into the league leaders and record setters . Then promote him to head coach .😊
Yeah that's going to be impossible to do with a quarter of the team salary cap
yes and no
🗣️FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 ZAC
Ive been praying for someone to buy the Bengals from scrooge brown
I've been praying that he will he just be more willing to pay more.Both our prayers are great.
Zac Taylor has gotta goooo
to give props to him he would be a good college coach, not an nfl coach at all
nope

Yes the cardinals interviewed him for the head coaching job😮
I want to see Salah, but I'll settle with Golden because Notre Dame's defense is STOUT this year

John Gruden 😂😈✔️
It's really not a bad idea
Grudens is horrible😅😅
@@TheWorshipful2008 he does have a super ball ring! But he is a horrible person. But they forgave Michael Vick so what the heck, let's go!
@xarrow81 Tony Dungy made that team. Gruden came in and benefitted from it. I think we are better off maybe with Saleh as DC because he was good in San Francisco but sucked in New York as Head Coach.
I'd prefer we get a DC that will run a zone blitz scheme.
The dc doesnt have any say in you getting to the qb? Come off it
They need to bring in experience. A coach with a proven record of building good solid defenses. I am tired of them hiring the next up and coming young coach just because they can save some money.
Saleh or Vrabel would be sweet, but I feel like Vrabel is going to the Patriots and taking Saleh with him.
Duke Tobin and the draft picks are part of the problem
please no patrick graham ... we scored 41 points this year aginst his defense
I think it gonna be Al they know him but don't know the other 2! So if Zac be fired during the season front office can roll with AL with no problems
Lmao Robert Salah easily getting another HC job.. no shot he takes a DC job.
Dennis Allen
Matt Eberflus
And Al Goldon AR the 3 the need to look at
I like that
No
No
Maybe
Your defense sucks because you're front office sucks sounds like you don't know your football
Can we get mike Zimmer back? 😂

Imagine Robert saleh on that team. 🤤
NFL won’t allow it.
Would Don Martindale be interested?
He's originally from the Dayton area.
And my former sister in laws brother.
Never met him FYI
Why was Lou blamed for the front office not resigning the players that made us successful.. I just don’t understand you ppl
Because the organization was not going to fire Duke Tobin or anyone else in the front office. Have to be realistic
The Bengals will find the cheapest defensive coach they can get for their money
Rex Ryan
Minter would be awesome
Robert Saleh... please 🙏
is that why their LBs have fallen off so much? new LB coach? I honestly didn’t even know they had a LB coaching change since their Super Bowl apperance.
I would say so. Back in the day when Logan was having multiple interception seasons
You need talented players. No coach could have been successful with that group
You can get john madden. We need better players to compliment Hendrickson.

@chaasadnapash802 no clown, not as long as Zac is there. We will have the same results and the other coaches will be held liable for Zacs blunders. Get real boy
I think they go with Golden since he was with Cincy before. However i want Saleh
Time for Zac to go aswell. He is NOT the leader we need.
Like the Browns, the ownership is the problem. Old man Brown needs to go away as does Haslam.
Saleh or bust
He was always bad. He was not getting offers, he was getting token interviews like every sb coordinator. Never a serious candidate. Would hand lobbed him to leave. No Al Golden!!
Zac will be gone next year if this housecleaning fails. Perhaps he can steal Taylor Swift from Travis. They can have a lovechild, a daughter, name her Taylor Taylor.
In general I don't like the idea of bringong a coach up from college call it the Urban Meyer effect
Zac needs to go, I wouldve taken Lou over Zac
Lou’s defense has never been in the top ten and Zac’s offense is always in the top 5 so please make this comment make sense
The offense is loaded with weapons and the defense has 1. Look up Zacs record with out Joe burrow
@@dustingoff8591 Zac's play calling is not good. He also can not have the team ready for the start of the season. Get another play caller, and have the team ready by sept and he would be fine.
