i would start with a Offensive HC who has had success, knows how to game plan and win games. Veterans come to mind for me are Pederson, Caldwell or Lewis has had long success with Bengals. if we go with Newcomer it has to be Daboll, Leftwich, Moore or Beniemy.

after that we need to start getting a GM who has success in the NFL, or has had success building a Offense around a QB not Defense.
All Coordinators needs to be background Checked, as we can't have a negative effect on the team like we did this year.

lastly we need to upgrade this positions via FA and The Draft, OLB, MLB, C, LT, WR. Resign players we have drafted that make sense, Cam Robinson, Chark, Robinson, and Josh Allen.
Figure out scheme and move players that don't fit.
Trade Players we don't need or will not need, Myles comes to mind cause he isn't a 3-4 LB. and Move on from Wingard as a starter. and Linder as a Center he is too injury prone to keep him there. Move him back to LG and Draft or Acquire a player who can stay Healthy.

i think if we can make some of these changes we can win 7 or 8 next year. and have a very postive outcome for this young team. we have foundations in place but we need to keep building and not settling.
