The Facts:
Bengals fans finally have their wish, the 10-year tenure of Bob Bratkowski is over. After saying before the Senior Bowl that there was still the opportunity to make changes to his staff, coach Marvin Lewis did just that by firing the team’s offensive coordinator on Monday. Bratkowski was signed through the 2011 season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Bratkowski had been the team’s offensive coordinator since 2001. After ranking in the Top 10 for three straight years (2005-07), the Bengals have finished 20th or worse on offense the last three seasons. This past year with Terrell Owens, Chad Ochocinco and Cedric Benson, the Bengals finished 20th in total offense and had no consistency. According to Enquirer staffer Joe Reedy, during Saturday’s Senior Bowl, Bratkowski called plays during the first half and QBs coach Ken Zampese called the second half. Zampese is considered to be one of the frontrunners for the opening. Receivers coach Mike Sheppard has also been an offensive coordinator in San Diego and New Orleans.
