People are worried about Taylor's lack of experience, they're worried about Callahan's lack of experience, and we're starting to see the same concern crop up on the defensive side of the ball as well as the DC candidates seem to be skewing younger. And to some extent, I get it - if someone has won the big ones and has been there before, they bring in a certain air of experience that helps to inspire others to follow them. But that said...

Let's hold the players accountable as well. They're professionals. Until the coaching staff starts building an actual resume of failure, these players should be buying in 100% to whatever these coaches are selling, age be damned. Show up, do your job ™, and give the guy a shot. And while others seem like they're trending towards holding these young coaches responsible if there's no buy-in from the players... I'm not of that mindset. If the players aren't going to buy in from the get go, that's on them as much as anybody.

Am I crazy for thinking this? Because I read some of these concerns people have about him taking charge of the locker room and I start to wonder...

The fans pretty much demanded Marvin's head after 3 losing seasons preceded by the meltdown at home against Pittsburgh in the Bengals last playoff appearance.

Mike Brown answered by stepping out of the way and let Katie and friends select the coach they are going to begin their era with.

We asked for Marvin gone and we got it. We now get the decisions of the younger Brown generation as our reward and we'll live with it regardless of the outcome. Hopefully it will be good.
