Don't look for Hue here

Hue Jackson won't return to Cincinnati unless he gets the offensive coordinator job. He won't be coming back to coach wide receivers again.

Jackson has told associates in Atlanta, where he spent the ill-fated 2007 Falcons season as offensive coordinator, that he has possible opportunities to call offensive plays in Washington or St. Louis.

The Bengals had wanted to get Jackson to come back to coach wide receivers, a group of strong personalities and big egos that Jackson was able to harness for the betterment of the team.

Here is what I would do... Say See ya BOB it's been Great.Then hire Hue They need to shake something up on the offence side. I don't think I can take another year of 2nd and long lets just run it and see what we get!! If me sitting at home knows there are going to run the ball 90% of the time on 2nd and long then don't you think the other team knows too?

Randy, would you really fire someone who constantly has the Bengals offense in the top 10, and hire someone with no coordinator experience, just to "shake things up"?

Randy, Jackson does have coordinator experience, most recently last year in Atlanta. However, it would be fair to say he hasn't had much success at it. But I would jump at the chance to boot Bob and bring in Chow. Losing Zampese worries me a bit as well.

Anonymous,

One thing you have to look at is where is the top 10 getting us sure the defence has let us down but where was the High powered Offence the last half of the year??
I don't think you could judge Hue from last year they played all year with a 2nd string QB.
