BTW, even though we have the occasional slap fight, I like you as a person and as a fellow Bengals fan. So, I'll give you a little hint before you answer.... Katie hasn't totally taken over. Brian Callahan just did an interview where he was asked about Joe Burrow in the preseason and one of the components to his answer was, and I quote, "Mr. Brown may or may not want him to play".
I just remember it was around that time that Mike started making more and more comments about him stepping back. I know it's come up on here a bunch. The old man has said numerous times over the last 5 or so years that it's basically her show.
Here's a semi-recent quote from him during the coaching search that landed us Taylor in 2019...
Quote:“My family now is included in these meetings. I sit there and get told what to do so I guess we’re making progress. I think it’s going well. With Katie, it’s true I’m still around and very happy to be around. I’m privileged to be the age I am, lucky to be doing what I’m doing, I’m aware of all that, I’m grateful...part of getting old is you hand off the ball. And I have people I am handing the ball off to, Katie and Paul and Troy, that’s our team, our administrative team…I think we’re in good hands.
