It's no coincidence that the Bengals haven't tried to fix problem areas through free agency with 2 different coaches now (fix it by signing top guys, in their prime, without an injury history--and no, leading the NFL in tackles one year isn't being a "top guy"). We've all seen and heard the interviews about Brown's thoughts on the matter. Then there was all the smoke Marv blew up everyone's ass when he said they were going to be more aggressive in FA. 

Did they get more aggressive? Well, the stepped up a bit from what they normally did, but i wouldn't exactly call it "aggressive". Preston Brown has a good number of tackles but he wasn't considered a top FA linebacker when he signed. 

And people pine for Zimmer as HC. The main reason Zimmer took so long to become a HC was because he's brash and says what's on his mind. That scared a lot of normal owners.

Here, there's like no way he could co-exist with Ownership if he had to work closely with them every day on all aspects of the organization.

They seem to value coaches with a passive personality.
