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?

Right, because if I'm the rank and file, and I see what I perceive as bad decisions, that could ultimately lead to the demise of my company, I may be inclined to leave for greener pastures and leave you with the underachievers, absentee employees, and brown nosers that can't get hired anywhere else.  Maybe the plan is to shed dead weight and recruit better people, if that were the case, I'd let my performers know so they don't leave.  It's just good business.  People are what drive the machine, GOOD people are what make it thrive.
