It's a big ask to have any staff be:
1) Scouts for college
2) Scouts for free agency
3) Develop playbooks
4) Scout for games
5) Coach
6) Be the Teams PR (note how you don't see Bengals management talking to the Press)
7) Roster development
Maybe a coach could be great in 1 or 2 of those areas and fail in others. You need a Bill Parcells-type to succeed here.
In other cities...coaches focus on Playbooks, Coaching, and Roster Development.
Excuses are like, oh well you know what they are like. Fans want to excuse Marvin after 18 years of futility but want to throw ZT under the bus half way through one season. Somehow it doesn't seem fair to me.
