Jacob Tissot and Craig Sandlin breakdown the Bengals' somewhat surprise firings of DC Lou Anarumo, DL coach Marion Hobby, LB coach James Bettcher, and OL coach Frank Pollack less than 24 hours after being eliminated from playoff contention.

The most disappointing seasons in this organization's history falls on the shoulders of one of  the worst defenses we've ever seen, and Anarumo was ultimately fired because of it. With one of the best offenses in football, this is immediately one of - if not the - most desirable positions in the league.  Potential replacements include former head coaches Brandon Staley, Robert Saleh, Dennis Allen and Matt Eberflus, as well as former Bengals LB coach and current Notre Dame defensive coordinator, Al Golden.
