For most teams, I would agree. For the Bengals, we could literally let anyone run the team for 26 years and they could match Mike Brown's postseason success. Our owner/GM simply isn't getting it done. We want to build through the draft, yet have the smallest scouting department in the NFL. There is no accountability for the coaching staff. If you get in good with the Browns, you have a job for life. With obvious areas that need improvement, we're going to roll into the season with $18m in cap space. Our owner/GM can easily be questioned on his desire to win. The list goes on and on, but I'll stop there.

As far as our Bengals are concerned, we could let anyone in the world be owner/GM and they could do as well in the postseason as our current owner/GM.
