I dont think Marvin is the problem. Who else could we actually get that could do a better job? Emphasis on the actually GET part.

On my list of people to fire that can actually be fired (i.e. other than Mike Brown) Bratkowski ranks higher than Marvin.

I've been getting this vibe for a while now. Marvin will walk away at the end of the year long before Mike would fire him...

Which will make for finding a qualified replacement quickly. Because what doesn't scream great opportunity like seeing a Coach leave because his team is horrible because ownership just doesn't care.:madman:

I wish I could think it leads to bringing in a GM, real scouting department and a coach that fits the two. Sadly even if that type move happens, it's still Mike doing the hiring and running the show...

How old is Mike? Does he have any health problems??

I wish, but things have been like this for a while, unfrotunately I think the sucess of a few years ago was just a situation where even idiots get lucky every now and again. Though Brown will likely view it as "We've been sucessful my way in the past, and we can do it again...."

Ummm he could suffer from memory loss and other head trauma if he was introduced to the right Bengals fans during a cold winter Sunday,.... lol. But in all seriousness I've never heard of anything, probably in absolutely great health with no desires of retiring before he's 100 years old with our luck.

Marvin looks lost out there IMO....I know Mikey is the real problem, but I don't think Lewis could be a good HC even with a competent owner. I like Mike Nolan.

I like Mike Nolan.

 

Must be the suit. Bad coach...

Where's the option to fire Mike Brown as the owner....

 

:thumb: I was going to post the same thing. As long as Brown is sitting where he is at the Bengals will NEVER win. The idiot couldn't manage a lemonade stand let alone run a football team. I can't say a word about Lewis with his incompetent boss still sitting in the front office. I feel sorry for any coach that comes into Cincy to work for this guy.

 

(If it's Brown, flush it down.....)

Completely disagree...He was doomed as soon as Alex Smith was picked....Give him some talent, and I see him as a good one.

So you are saying he didn't pull the trigger on Smith???

He wasn't the GM was he? He may have been on board with it, but I thought I read somewhere that he wasn't ever completely sold on Smith....

I don't think anyone with a fully functioning brain was sold on Smith that high. It had to come from above. He caved. Sounds like a perfect target for Mike...
