It will then turn into "Mike Brown is cheap and hates winning" which may be true but may also not be up to him. Fans spend all offseason talking about why Mike Brown sucks but now expect potential coaches to overlook it.
We don't have a bubble, we don't sign FA's, we don't pay at the top of the league for coaches, Mike Brown is involved too much......but coaches should overlook that all? Or are we now saying that all is no longer an issue because we need to be appealing to a new shiny toy?
The Bengals certainly aren't a fit for everybody, that's for sure.
The $6 mil Marvin supposedly got this year would actually put him close to the Top 10 HC's, and everyone in front of him besides Jason Garrett and Ron Rivera has a ring. Really, Mike McCarthy is the only available candidate that could realistically demand top dollar. Everyone else has to prove themselves before getting into the deep end of the salary pool.
The big selling points for the Bengals are job security, a good QB situation, plenty of cap space in 2019, and a lot of control over personnel decisions. That last one is big for some coaches.
