How about Rex Ryan AND Donnie Henderson, Bengals fans?

Rex as DC, Henderson as LB coach...

There is speculation that Ryan is the No. 1 candidate to become the head coach in Atlanta. If that doesn't happen, he'll have a home in Cincinnati as the defensive coordinator, working under Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis.

There could be a reunion of the old Ravens' staff in Cincy because if Ryan joins the Bengals, former Ravens secondary coach Donnie Henderson is likely to become the Bengals' linebackers' coach.

Since Billick was fired because the O did not come together and the D not only kept that team respectable, but got them to the playoffs, sounds good to me. The Ravens D played the aggressive style, which I like. And I'm sure it wasn't just about personnel, but then I have to admit this is not an area of expertise for me.

If you think those two coaches will be on the Bengals coaching staff next year, you've been :all_cohol

I was actually looking for some sort of "pipe dream" emoticon I thought we had but I guess that one will have to do.

Mike Brown thinks the Bengals have been pretty successful the past 17 years, so I wouldn't expect him to think that big. I fully expect Kevin Coyle to be promoted from secondary coach to DC...

Ryan is the overwhelming favorite in Atlanta. I'd be surprised if he's not hired there.

Ditto, especially with Jason Garrett going to the Ravens.
