So to be a coach of the Bengals, the next guy will need to possess the skillset to rebuild the team to competitive, then he'll also have to be a great motivator and tactician.
I think that's a lot of diverse skills to want in 1 guy. That's why the shortest path is to hire a GM and let the coach focus on coaching.
It's interesting when you think about...Marvin has had 7 winning seasons and and made the postseason 7 times...and has not won a single playoff game.
Sam Wyche only had 3 winning seasons and only made the postseason twice...but won 3 playoff games and made it to a Super Bowl.
At some point, it boils down to taking advantage of your opportunities and making the most of them - something Marvin had repeatedly failed to do.
