I don't think OP was trolling and I think some are WAY to casual about throwing that word around at anyone they disagree with. One of my first threads ever was some rant about Mike Brown and I definitely wasn't trolling.
That being said, OP is underestimating Bengals fans. I'd estimate that more than half the fan base isn't happy with Marvin Lewis. I've wanted him gone since 2008. OP needs to realize that Mike Brown cares less about what his fans think than any owner in professional sports. The guy could seriously give 2 ***** what you or I think.
We want a practice facility (as do the players)? We want or wanted a GM? We want a higher quality FA every now and then? We want a team HOF? Mike Brown doesn't care that the majority of his fans want these things, and he doesn't care about anyone's opinion of Marvin Lewis or any other coach. The man is stubborn and loyal to a fault and there is absolutely zilch we can do about it.
Remember WhoDey Revolution putting up billboards and flying planes over the practice field years ago? Everything has been attempted with Mike Brown. Years ago, a group of his former players even wrote him a group letter asking that he hire a GM. Again, the man refuses to listen to anyone. It's common knowledge for a Bengals fan and that's why people rarely bring it up here. It's pointless to even discuss really.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
