Bengals Fire Bratkowski

By: James Walker



The Bengals fired offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski on Monday, Mortensen reports. There has been speculation about coaching changes for weeks, and Cincinnati finally made a significant move at the conclusion of the Bengals' staff coaching in the Senior Bowl. Cincinnati had a lot of weapons on offense but mostly underachieved during an abysmal 4-12 season.

Several questions come to mind now that Bratkowski is out.

First, what does this mean for quarterback Carson Palmer, who demanded a trade and threatened to retire? Is a coaching change enough to convince him to stay? Also, who will be Bratkowski's replacement and will tailback Cedric Benson return? Benson and Bratkowski butted heads this season, and Benson said he wouldn't re-sign unless Bratkowski was out.



Note from Coop: Okay, about the picture, I would have gotten a real picture of him, and one not poking fun at him, but as a Bengals fan, I have had enough, and that picture seemed to fit him well.
