There are two reasons for that: First, the media are the voice of the community and it is incumbent upon them to raise legitimate concerns from the community.
Second, it is not about how the coach answers the questions, it is about making public the failures which should be known, addressed, and create pressure surrounding those failures.
The reporters in Cincinnati do not do that in their capacity as Cincinnati Bengals media, even with the existence of ample relevant evidence, and I wan't to know why?
Everyone talks about the steelers record but no one talks about the Ravens record. We dominate them. 16-10 now under Lewis (I believe, please correct me if I am mistaken). Which is amazing considering how bad we were when he started.
18-8 vs Cleveland and 16-10 vs Baltimore means Lewis is beating down 66% of the division consistently and will always be in the hunt for the division title. Please correct those numbers if I am wrong.
Yes the steelers record could be better but it's not like he isn't successful. Heck Pete Carroll has trouble with the Rams. Does that mean he should have his feet held to the fire and be ran out of town?
Paul Dehner and Reedy do/did enough anti Marvin/pro Pittsburgh press to fuel the paranoia of you guys. Paul isn't as bad as Reedy but he no doubt is scared of the steelers and I have no idea why. Maybe it's just being a Jags fan lol
We are better than The steelers and it's been nice having Jim on the beat to give a fresh perspective instead of the retread of the constant complaining of the team. It gets old and I am happy to have new eyes on the situation.
