I find it alarming that a 15 year coach has finally been trusted to call some of the shots. My question is more about MB than Marvin, but let's say we win the AFC or SB within two years. Will this be all the proof you need to be convinced that MB has been the one to blame since taking over.
Mike Brown being stubborn and waiting this long to give a coach the tools they feel they need to succeed only make makes the case for a GM stronger. Also proves the narrative that Mike Brown is not committed to winning. As for Katie, I wouldn't expect anything other than what we've seen over the past 1/4 century.
Who thinks Mike Brown is not mostly to blame? It's obvious that as the owner, he makes the decisions. It's also obvious that, no matter how much people want to stomp their feet and demand a new owner, it is not going to happen. The Browns own this team, and the Browns will always own this team, until they decide they don't want to anymore, and that will never happen while MB is alive (and possibly Katie). And, when they do decide to sell it, Cincinnati can kiss the team goodbye.
Might just as well complain about the weather, neither will change because people complain..... and, FWIW, I definitely think MB desperately wants a World Championship, he just doesn't know how to get it and is too proud to admit it and give up control.
