You can't blame all our losing on Marvin and then say the next coach can't improve without more talent.

I don’t think anyone blames ALL the losing on Marvin. He obviously took this franchise from horrible to slightly above average, but that is as far as it went for 16 years. You can’t coach talent, but you can motivate and prepare talent to perform at it’s peak....and that is where Marvin was lacking. Many seasons the Bengals were said to have one of the most talented rosters in the league.....0 Playoff wins. This team needs some better talent at multiple positions FIRST, then we can see just how well the new coach and staff can get it to perform. It’s a combination of BOTH.....Obviously.
