I believe and so do players

[BengalsFan1986]

I’m happy for those of you who are optimistic. Hopefully you all end up being right and can throw a big fat, “I told you so” in my face next season. That would be awesome. The kind of patience and understanding you guys are expecting everyone to have is reserved for franchises with better track records than our beloved Bengals. As it is right now, if after the wildcard win in 1990 the Bengals hired 5 year old me to a 30 year contract as the head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, I can 100% guarantee you that I would have as many playoff victories as all of our coaches combined in that time span. This is the only team I can say that about. That’s not a track record that has earned patience when it comes to keeping around a coach that has managed 6 wins in 2 years while allowing veteran players to become disgruntled and allowing the future of the franchise to get destroyed behind a terrible offensive line.
