Please god… Mike Florio is about as credible as I am on this stuff, but please…
Please God
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
Knowing this front office, they’ll fire him and just roll his job into Katie’s responsibilities to save some money.
We’re down so bad we’re clinging to Florio throwing shit at the wall as our hope.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
The scary thing is what would happen after Duke. Is a real GM going to want to join such a constrained organisation?
Life imitates art. They are going to get my hopes up just like Sunday with 54 seconds left just to inevitably let me down.
At my company they are eliminating roles and then handing the leftover responsibilities to “AI” – I’d take ChatGPT over Duke tobin right now…let’s see if Mike gets creative here
FOR THE LOVE GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY FUCKING PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
If this happens, the real question is whether or not they want to join the late 20th century and bring in an actual front office. I doubt they’d join the 21st under any circumstances.
He can’t live forever, they’ll have to replace him someday
Thank god!
Oh God, please.
I’ve never wanted Mike Florio to be so right for once in my entire life
Please take Zac with him
Florio is a pot stirring POS..
That said, one can only hope he is right this time.
DONT LET ME BELIEVE
“Duke Tobin will be stepping down from his position of Director of Personnel……… And will be promoted to Supreme Executive Commander of Roster Construction. Hail Tobin.”
Promoted and have his nephew under him.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Simple as that.
Should they? Unquestionably yes. Will they? Almost certainly not.
Florio never reports on fact, he doesn’t really have any insiders. Florio more talks about what he thinks should happen and often it is nowhere close to the actual.
This is the most significant change in Bengals history if true
I’ll believe it when I see it
Fire him into the fucking Sun.
As much as I want to believe, Florio is a hack. I’ll believe it when it happens.
About damn time but at the very least it’s better late than never. Honestly idk who’s available but anyones better at this point.
God I have seen what you’ve done for others, and I want that for me 🙏
The one thing that this front office seems to listen to and care about is ticket sales. I’m sure there were a good number of cancellations in the past few weeks that maybe made the realize they need to make some changes.
Bubbling from who? This subreddit? This guy has lasted through, what, 5 rebuilds at this point? He’s not going anywhere. Won’t believe anything until he’s actually fired or leaves.
He’s the only thing they haven’t changed since 1999. I think it’s time to replace that one and see if things improve.
Literally just follow PFF rankings and we’d likely win a Super Bowl
Sweet Jesus I hope so, guy sucks so hard.
Florio talks out of his ass. It’d be nice if true, though!
As much as Duke needs to move on, Katie and Troy need to remove themselves from contract negotiations. They aren’t good at them and royally fuck the team with their structures. It’s never happening but a man can dream.
Florio is a 🤡. Until I see someone reputable report it I’m not believing shit.
Zac saying Chase Brown didn’t do everything he could is wildly insulting. That guy leaves everything on the field every game. Zac can fuck off
It’s amazing that Zac reprimands Chase Brown while the dude is out there doing fucking flips over defenders trying to make plays. Get real, Zac. What the hell.
Meanwhile you’ve got the D out there picking their noses and playing grabass and all he has to say about it is “we just need that one play, we just need someone to step up”. This guy has absolutely zero ability to command and be firm.
