This was one of my concerns as well.  Marvin did at least turn the culture around here.  Several years in the playoffs and a core group of good players at least kept hope alive.  After the last 2 years of losses in fa with no adequate replacements, a coach waiting on an extension and now current players publicly questioning what's going is bad news IMHO.  Why would freeagents want to come here moving forward.

I remember reading an article several years ago describing dome teams as "pay cheque teams" where players come to earn a cheque but don't care. The Bengals were listed as a team with the most players just worried about their paycheque. Marvin changed that culture. Honestly I haven't seen that type of attitude here. Remember the days when the Bengals barely had anyone show up for off season workouts? I remember there was a story about how only one player showed up for Marvins press conference. That was unheard of at the time. 

He created a culture where players cared. I'm not a ML supporter but I will give him credit when it's due. 

I'm worried that the positive energy this team has had could be impacted by the loss of leadership and apathy of the ownership.
