In all fairness, our idea of "genius" is a HC who will play Auden Tate whether he deserves playing time or not, so what do we know.  But if ZT is going to change the culture, he's going to have to do it while saying the opposite things, because he's been very complimentary of the Mike Brown way, thus far.  We shall see what happens, but part of me feels like we are rooting for ZT to be the guy who gets through to Mike Brown the same way Browns fans were rooting for every QB they threw into the fire for the past 20 years to magically become "the guy."  The idea of Mike Brown handing control over to a 35 year old HC who has been here for 15 minutes after he handcuffed Marvin Lewis for almost 2 decades is as hard to swallow as the concept of Kevin Hogan being the next Tom Brady, but there are people out there who hoped it would happen until it didn't.  Fingers crossed, and all that jazz.

But hope springs eternal.  If ZT doesn't change the culture here maybe the next guy will.

So being all gloom and doom is the way to go? Do we all personally know Mike Brown? Maybe he does want to win, but just throwing millions around doesn't guarantee championships, when's the last time Dallas or Washington won anything? I'm not saying the guy shouldn't be called out at times. As for ZT, he knows way the hell more about football than the people on this board. He has brought more energy than any coach we've had since Sam, so far. It's a positive start, but we have to wait a couple of more months to see if happens on the field. 
We got we wanted and that was Merv being let go. The FO is not going to change and there is absolutely nothing you or I or anyone else can do about that. Why not just chill people until we see the team play on the field.
