I can't wait to see how Hue installs his offense in Cincinnati.  

 

[knowledge dropper]

The feeling of relief will last about an hour.  Dopey Mike Brown is reportedly meeting with Hue now. 

This franchise really needs a reset not a retread. 

 

[GroveDiesel]

Man, I knew he was with the Bengals for a long time, but didn't realize it was 16 years!

LOL.     Talk about going from bad to worse.

Bringing in Jackson was probably the final nail in Lewis' coffin.

Truly the Bungles if they do this

You can’t argue with the success Jackson had at his previous job and then how the team fell apart when he left.

 

[KickinT]

No hope with current ownership.

Marvin says Hue is “more than qualified.” Calls him “an excellent football coach” says Hue was in a couple tough situations

Marvin "I think Hue should get an opportunity to speak with them," #Bengals

       

 

[Andrew74]

I was feeling good about my AJG shares for about 5 minutes until I remembered Hue was there.

George Vogel: At PBS now. Told Hue Jackson meeting with Brown family. Does not mean he is getting job. Could be another role, could be no role. Could be just a courtesy. 

Hue Jackson said he wasn’t sure if he was allowed to talk.

It's Happening!!!!!!  

 

[DocHolliday]

Hysterical if Hue gets the job.   Entertaining for all non Bengals fans too.  

 

[fantasycurse42]

How awesome would it be if the Browns became a playoff team and the Bengals went like 2-14?

Marvin Lewis trying to screw over the team that let him hang around for 16 years. 'Hey Hue, come on in and I'll recommend you as the next HC when they fire me. We both know you suck and I want to get back at this team for firing me.'

Can Hue be that stupid to take a job knowing he is going to get slapped across the face twice a year by Baker Mayfield?

 

[GroveDiesel]

If the Bengals interview Jackson, it would satisfy the Rooney Rule...

Yes.  Hopefully that was the reason he got a meeting today.

I didn't think ole Marv was that vindictive...

Does it?  They changed the rule so interviewing someone that is already inside the organization doesn't count towards it.   Does it make allowances for legitimate candidates inside your organization while still closing the loophole of pulling in your TE coach for a sham interview?

God I hope so! 

 

[Hoh]

Wouldn’t put it past Mike Brown to hire Jackson just to prove he was smart to keep Lewis all these years.

Didn't realize they changed the rule. If that interview doesn't count and it's a legit interview...oof.

 

[32 Counter Pass]

Goid to see Lewis gone. Hopefully the cheap shots and dirty play by the Bengals will be gone with his departure.

The enhancements to strengthen the Rooney Rule include:

1. Clubs must interview at least one diverse candidate from the Career Development Advisory Panel list or a diverse candidate not currently employed by the club;

2. Clubs must continue best practice recommendation of considering multiple diverse candidates;

3. Clubs must maintain complete records and furnish to the league upon Commissioner's request; and

4. If final decision-maker is involved in the beginning, he/she must be involved through the conclusion of the process.

I wonder if he's considered on the list mentioned.  Of course, they could just keep interviewing.

Him and Snyder are meant for each other. They are the Gate Keeper and Key Master of mediocrity.

I don't know why every retread NFL coach just doesn't go to an NC State or Georgia Tech and bring in a fat salary, work 40 hours a week and get treated like a god.

Marvin Lewis was fired???

I just assumed by the Bengals record that he was still their head coach.

Nope, they have one of those fancy new young guys that know Sean McVay.

SiriusXM NFL Radio's Alex Marvez reports Marvin Lewis is a "serious contender" for the Redskins head-coaching job.

Lewis spent this season in an advisory role at Arizona State. He's said he doesn't want to return to the NFL, but there are rumblings he's already interviewed for the Redskins job. Lewis had a winning record during his 16-year tenure with the Bengals and would be a safe hire for a team that hasn't made the playoffs since 2015. Hiring Lewis would suggest the Redskins are in win-now mode despite having one of the worst rosters in the league.

I mean, he took a team that had averaged 4.5 wins per season for the prior 12 years, was a laughingstock,and has one of the worst front offices and ownership in football, and came out 9 games over .500 including 7 playoff appearances so ...

i’m not saying he is Vince Lombardi, but he really shouldn’t be considered a punchline 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I now realize that my description of the bengals basically fits Washington exactly as well...

And he's had to deal with a lot of knuckleheads during his time there too.

Arizona State hired former Bengals coach Marvin Lewis as co-defensive coordinator.

Lewis interviewed with the Dallas Cowboys last month but left without a job. He'll now work under Herm Edwards at Arizona State as a defensive assistant. Lewis is likely viewing this as a stop gap into getting back into the NFL but returning to the league as a coordinator isn't guaranteed at this point.
