It seems whenever the team is fielding a winning team it ends up being torn apart. That is the FO doing and not the coaches.  The coaches end up needing to find plug in players and hopefully they have someone on the team already and if not it won't come through FA and with the draft you only have 7-9 players on average to bring in with most not providing an immediate impact. 

It isn't MB running the books that has been Kate and her husband. This organization needs a true experienced GM to come in and ask the Brown family to let him/her run the show. From there, the organization culture can change. Until that is done it won't matter who the coach is; they will be dealing with owners who simply care more about their income potential than they do about winning. What they don't seem to get is that the PATS, Steelers, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, 49ers, Seahawks, etc... all teams with SB rings tend to have better revenue do to extending their fanbase by winning the big game. 

Even small market teams like the Packers have a big fan base all do to winning the big game. 

The 2015 team started 8-8 and finished 4-4. They peaked early and backed into the playoffs. They had a win and couldn't even hang onto that. Hard to say that's a championship level team.

The Palmer team? Who knows? The offense was great. Defense bad.

Sheer probability says we should be in a SB sometime soon when you look at other NFL Teams. All but, 4-5 have won 5+ playoff games since we last won 1.
