Marvin Lewis provided me with a lot of entertainment throughout the years. As a Steeler fan I will miss him. Perhaps Mike Brown is opening the door for Hue Jackson.

This honestly is crazy to think he kept a job for 16 years with a barely above .500 record and 0-7 in the playoffs.

5 years to late.

I agree. Mediocre at best.

It seems as if the Cincinnati teams are finally trying to do a little better.

Please, please, please, offer Lincoln Riley so much money he canât turn it down. He might not turn out to be a great pro coach, you never know, but donât go the conservative route and hire Hue Jackson or Mike McCarthy. Having not won a playoff game since 1991, there is no franchise more in need of the shot of excitement Riley would bring. As an added bonus, it would piss off Baker Mayfield royally, which is always a fun thing to see.

Now we get to see who really would consider working with the Brown family as a coach. IMO the list is small, and a lot of names wont even touch it, specifically with other jobs open.

Time will tell.

I also think the only name from College that the Brown family would consider is Brian Kelly.
