But how in the world can this guy be the son of the guy who may have been the most creative and innovative coach in nfl history ( certainly easily in top 5)
Is there any doubt why they have not won a playoff game since the father passed away?
Did Paul fire Sam or did Mike. Someone remind me. How much different could Bengals history have been if Sam was retained and supported by management. I’ll bet Paul liked Sam better than Mike.
It is very easy to point at MB as the reason we haven't won a playoff game since he took over, because he is the constant. But, in reality, when you look at it objectively, the Mike Brown Bengals have put together a boatload of teams with the talent to get to the playoffs and win. Losing, once they got there, is on the coaches and players, not on Mike Brown, because he's not coaching. Now, some of it is just horrendous luck with injuries to guys like Palmer and Dalton, some of it is because the whole team came out and crapped the bed (think Chargers). I fail to see how lack of performance on game day is ownerships fault when you had coaches here everyone covets, like Zimmer, Gruden, etc. How many teams make the playoffs 5 years in a row? At some point, players have to perform on the big stage.
