You are 1000% correct, it is how I make a living (Executive Recruiter).  Dunlap is a key member of this team, he's not a special teams player or someone who was just drafted last year.  Should he be consulted on every move that is made?  No, certainly not.  Should he, and others, at least have an idea where the organization is headed, what "the plan" is?  Yes, without question.  Managers who make decisions without regard for others, who assume the workers will fall in line and be happy collecting a paycheck are normally not very successful.

Some people have brought up the Patriots.  First off, other than the fact they are both franchises within the NFL, the Bengals and Patriots have almost nothing in common.  Second, and more importantly, they get the benefit of the doubt because of their past success.  They get more leeway, players and personnel are more likely to trust "the process" when that process has actually yielded success.  And for anyone touting five straight Wild Card losses, does that really count as success anywhere other than Cincinnati?
