Rumor laid to rest

[mrschaney]

Just got off the phone with Steve Shandy and based on his tone and the conversation that we had, I can tell you with "most" certainty that Mike Holmgren will not be the next head coach of the Bengals........or at least not until after 2019. Sure, the interest is there with Mike Holmgren, but NOT with the Bengals...... at this point in time. Mike Brown is committed to Marvin Lewis through 2019.
From what I know:
Holmgren (MH)opened the door with Mike Brown (MB)and the topic was discussed with MB assuring (MH) that he is committed to Lewis through the 2019 season, but opening the possibility of a giving Holmgren a "look see" after 2019. I don't expect anything to happen before 2019, BUT this is a business so there is always a window.
At this time, Holmgren in before 2019, 94%.
Hope this lays to rest all the Holmgren talk that has been springing up here as of late.

Hue has it on lockdown right?

 

[Guy Incognito]

A little early to be this hammered, isn't it?

Holmgren is 70 years old and hasn’t coached in a decade.

Did you mean McCarthy?

 

[mrschaney]

70 is not necessarily a deal breaker for the Bengals. Look at Marv Levy who was trying to come back just 2 seasons ago at age 91!

[YourFriendGannon]

I see Chris Palmer and Sam Rutigliano as the 2 most probable successors to Marv.

So you legitimately meant Holmgren. I googled him this morning and there’s no rumors about anything.

TIL: you can get Percocet for cutting your finger.

You seriously didn't see ANYTHING? It's all over the place, or was, probably just got buried in the George Bush funeral news.

Well, unlay that rumor:

No mention of MH.

Do you just have a thing for 70 year old geezers that ride motorcycles?

I read the thread title and thought Eric Forrester was being considered as the next head coach of the Bengals.























Google the name... it will make sense.

I didn’t peg you as a fan of soaps...but I guess it makes sense.

Don Diamont, aka Dollar Bill Spencer's son is a legit qb candidate. Offers from Ole miss and ALabama!

Mike would bring success to the Bengals, he has a great football mind and would turn things around quickly... Give him total control, let him run the whole thing, he'll have the Bengals competing in a big way.... If the Bengals stick with Lewis, that's crazy, the guy simply isn't gonna get you guy's over the hump... Time for a change...

Dave Shula wasn't interested?
