And it seemed a good move because the next 5 years were the best 5 year stretch I have ever witnessed as a bengals fan.
We went 4-11-1 in 2008...4-12 in 2010.
I think we're giving too much credit to Marv for those playoff seasons and not enough to AJ Green, Dalton, Atkins, Nelson, etc. We suddenly had a massive influx of talent. Unfortunately, the struggles in big games continued.
We are now coming off of 2 straight losing seasons, so the "we should keep Marv cuz playoffs" narrative is really losing what little steam it had.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
