What up and welcome in to another edition of the Locked-on Bengals podcast. I'm James Erpene.

It is great to be with you and what is my final week here at Locked-on Bengals on Twitter at

James Erpene and at Locked-on Bengals. You could subscribe on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher,

and the IHeart Radio app. And just a reminder that regardless, obviously I'm going away after this week, but

regardless of that, there will be a locked on Bengals podcast. There will be a host. There may be a delay.

Odds are there will be, just because it takes time to get someone else up and running,

but there will be a new locked on Bengals podcast, a new host, you'll get your daily dose of

Bengals coverage

and i just want to thank you guys so much for the support for the back and forth for the banter

uh for the voicemails for the agreeing the disagreeing the tweets all of that i loved every bit of it

and if you enjoy my work i will be launching a new podcast here in the next few weeks that I certainly

want you to subscribe to. I would love for you to subscribe to. Obviously, it won't be Bengals-based.

There will be some football involved. There will be some basketball involved, and there will be,

obviously, baseball involved as well. It'll be fun. It's a fun podcast that's about to launch,

and I'm excited for that. But first, I'm focused on the here and now, which is the final week

of the Lacton Bengals podcast. And it's interesting because this coaching search continues.

And to me, and it's something I've heard, and I think I mentioned it on yesterday's podcast.

If not, I mentioned it last week, but it seems like Vance Joseph is the favorite.

And you read Albert Breer of Monday morning quarterback in his column on Monday, and yep, that's it.

Vance Joseph, probably the favorite here.

And then Albert says, yeah, but there's members of Marvin Lewis's staff that say

Hugh Jackson might get the job. Look, to me, I think that Vance Joseph is going to be the perfect
