Hired ML. I attribute a lot of our turnaround to ML. As I said in an earlier post, just look at the stats before he was here and since he's been here. Night and day difference, even if we haven't won a PO game. And remember some of the posts of when Housh was here and they had to share jock straps before ML? Just small snippets into what I believe is a ML turnaround to the culture of this team. 

ML is responsible for turning things around here yes...that's probably why he, like Carson, publicly declared that he was walking away from this franchise unless certain changes were made on multiple occasions.  After the 2010 season both Carson and Marvin went public about being done with the Bengals unless changes happened.  This is clearly a necessary evil when dealing with MB, even if it hurts Bengals' fans feelings that people don't want to just blindly follow MB into a deathtrap.

I'm a little biased though, since I actually had a point in my career where I disagreed with an employer and I had enough leverage to sit at home and get paid until they held up their end of the deal and I got what I wanted and moved on to a better job with a better organization 6 months before the organization collapsed due to its own incompetence.  I was so mean.
