Or is he the one responsible for playing guys that are failing.  I don't think I have ever heard who makes the calls on these things.  It's not your typical organizational structure.  Until I know for certain I will just have to maintain a general testiness and willingness to reassign blame as new facts arise.  Having said that, I wholly expect to engage in wanton and random accusations of incompetence, which are wildly satisfying in these times of uncertainty. 

I would love to know who is calling these shots. PA has been with Mikey for a long time and is listed as the asst. HC. And I'd guess he carries a good bit of weight on who's playing etc. He, I'm pretty sure has been a large player in FU's like Roland, Gutcheck, and others in the past. And now has the projects of Bodine, Ogbuehi, and Fisher.

I don't believe for a second PA is free from guilt here.

Wow.  That took balls.  He just called out the head coach.  And who is it again that is on the hot seat?

Honestly, I don't think Marvin is going anywhere.  It isn't what I want, but the realist in me (ha, and a Bengal's fan that still holds out hope for a playoff entry) says that without back to back poor seasons, he won't be fired.

He will be given one more year.  If they don't make the playoffs next year, he would be let go since his contract would be up.

No I didn't hear that part. But I don't buy for a second that PA is guilt free in this SNAFU.
