Marvin atleast took the team to respectability.
Maybe under different ownership, he would have thrived?
Marvin also had the benefit of being around during the creation of the rookie wage scale. Previous coaches and teams could be killed financially with a massively overpaid first round pick that they were essentially stuck with and the Bengals had lots of them. Now teams can make a bad first round pick and get out after a couple years...even a really high pick.
It was one of the best decisions made in recent decades in the NFL but make no mistake that KILLED the Bengals in the 90s and early 2000s.
