Listen, when you have the opportunity to hold on to a third-round compensatory pick, so you can get the next McKinnley Jackson, you have to do it. You can't worry about nonsense like trying to win a Super Bowl, when the next Jermaine Burton could be a Bengal.
The Bills added.
The Jaguars added A LOT.
The Chiefs added.
The Broncos added.
The Bengals didn’t.
Contenders ADD. And the Bengals’ path to winning the AFC just got harder…
@mafreed21 Not sure. It's entirely possible he just wanted to coach somewhere with like 1/100th of the pressure. But I tend to think Day could have talked him into coming back, if Day wanted to.
Yeah, almost asked a follow-up, but it's clear he didn't want to throw Art Smith under the bus and say "Yeah, I should have re-hired Chip." But we can ask again tomorrow.
The NIL killed this type of coaching unfortunately. We went 12-0 this year playing pissed off football. I truly don’t think you can have a pissed off football team today.
