This is the only way to really save face with the franchise (short of selling the team).
1) Get rid of the nepotism. Completely clear house with anyone related. This is no longer Bengals & Sons/Daughters.
2) Revamp the entire front office. Add GM, increase scouting department, etc.. "But Bleed, the Bengals lead the NFL in terms of players on the roster that we drafted by the team." Yeah, that's great if you also win. Anyone can have a team completely made up of drafted players and be awful. People in here want Tobin but he has whiffed so many times in the 1st round. I don't know how many were his picks but our drafts have sent us back 5+ years.
3) Sign 1-2 (or trade for) players in offseason. No retreads or back-ups. This team had gaping holes at multiple positions and we did nothing besides the draft. This is fine if you nail the draft (see #2). If nothing else this injects some life into the fan base and sends a message.
4) Stay away from everything. The owner is a figure head only. The only time an owner is to be seen is in the box watching the game.
5) Revamp the entire brand. This include uniforms, logos, & stadium. Everything associated with the brand is tainted. It's a New Dey right? Invest in the stadium to make it more fan friendly. Add TV's to the concourse. Bring in new food items. Maybe even start a Bengals ring of honor and get the older players invested. It's unbelievable how disconnected this team is with its fans.
