McCarthy the "very successful head coach" is eating humble pie tonight.

Really? You think he had a big ego? What have you seen in the past 12 years that makes you think he wasnt humble?

Me neither. But you cant deny he has a very high ceiling. That much potential has to be any young coach's dream.

For what it's worth, it sounded like he could have had the Arizona job if he wanted it. He decided he wasn't interested.

Opinions are like A-holes, we all have one.
With all these apparent HC signings, sounds like Murph and Gute beat the rush and got the guy they wanted in the process. Nothing worse than being slow on the draw, to find out all your targets are gone.

Exactly. McCarthys reputation for years has been his inability to change and adjust accordingly. That seems to be biting him in the ****...I wouldn’t want him anywhere near my offense.

Or, possibly, deciding that taking the year off and cashing $6 mil in paychecks isn't a bad alternative.

When someone has to refer to themselves in the media as a very successful coach it kinda throws up some red flags for me. If you're good, you don't have to convince people.

Zach Taylor to the Bengals. He is off the potential OC list.
Bad hire for a HC. I would want at least 3 or 4 years as an coordinator, even MLF is short here with 2 years. Taylor has some games as an interim ( but that isnt the same thing - you cant install am your system - you have to maintain the existing). He was an OC for 1 year in college
Maybe the thinking is you better grab these up and coming offensive creative guys quickly, even if they are not ready.

I never heard that. He seems so humble to me in all of his interviews.

It makes perfect sense. Given what transpired in KC, it's fair to say Dorsey is one those "I pick the ingredients, you prepare the meal" kind of guys. I guess that makes Mayfield the sous chef baking the breads and deserts. Maybe a souffle.

Just so long as he doesn't call himself a "stable genius". That crosses the line.
Look at the guy. It's not to hard to figure he's eating some kind of pie.

Well, here's the problem for the Bengals. They've been one of the most risk averse franchises in NFL history and have missed out on big opportunities to hire some real coaching geniuses over the years. Marvin Lewis was in town way too damn long and should have been kicked out years ago for mediocrity and all that team did was fail fail fail once they made the playoffs, or fail to make them like these last 3 seasons.
Zac Taylor may be a huge risk, but the only way that team is going to have a shot at finally getting back to winning and getting over the playoff loss hump is to take it. Worst thing they could have done was just bump up Hue Jackson as they were expected to do or bump up some other Marvin staffer to that position and just do the same damn thing over and over again.

Vikings got Kubiak. I was hoping LaFleur could grab him. Definitely sucks someone in our division got him.
