I "thought" the Bengals had enough of Marvin as well. It sure looked like the fanbase did too.

So... he gets another EXTENSION instead of being fired?!!

That's pretty amusing to me. Most fanbases would have been driven nuts by such actions. I know "I" would! How do you think the Colts fanbase would have reacted if Pagano got a 2 year extension instead of being fired? The reason Luck was injured for a whole season was because of Pagano. He played him when he shouldn't have! So, I say good riddance.

You replied to the wrong sentence.

No I didn't. But you know... I understand. First there's denial, but eventually you'll learn acceptance. Just remember - yet ANOTHER SEASON with Marvin Lewis! :giggle:

You're the goober. Read the link below. You root for a team that has an owner like this:

Irsay

The Colts lost on purpose to get Andrew Suck ?

That would be as hard of pill to swallow as them moving away from their true city of Baltimore.

Oh well mostly bandwagoner fans anyhow.

What about him?

Yeah, we all know he has issues, but at least one of them isn't keeping a head coach who hasn't won a playoff game in 15 years.

You're still on that? That the Colts lost on purpose to get Andrew Luck? Geez... dude! You caught in some kind of time-loop or what?

I wasn't even alive when the Colts left Baltimore. My earliest recollection of the Horseshoe is in Indy, so no way am I a "bandwagoner".

I don't think you understand how the NFL works. Fans have no say in whether a coach stays or goes. No matter how much you want to believe it, coltsfan's uproar has no effect on an owner. They may give you lip service but what it comes down to is the owner's impatience with not winning playoff games/super bowls. 

Mike Brown doesn't care about any of that. As long as he stays in the black and has something extra to go in the bank, he will get by as cheaply as he can.

Yeah, I understand that fans have no real power in deciding whether a coach stays or not. However, Irsay DOES listen to the fans and he at least tries to please them - as much as he can or wants to. The fanbase pretty much wanted Pagano gone, not because he sucked this season. We wanted him gone because he played Luck when he should have benched him to heal. As a result, he was injured for an entire season. Irsay actually liked Pagano, and I think he had another year in his contract. But Irsay knew that if he kept him one more season, there might have been a riot in the Stadium... or worse... crickets from no one attending. Irsay's ego couldn't stand that. He likes money, don't get me wrong, but he likes his ego stroked by the fans even more!

He's pretty much giving the Patriot's OC anything he wants next season. Irsay wants a superbowl with Luck, that much we know. So, the Colts have some major building to do in order for that to happen.

It's too bad Mike Brown won't even listen to his fanbase. From what I've seen and read, y'all are loyal to a fault. I know boycotting the stadium would just incite Mike Brown to move his team to another city. I guess it's better to have a mediocre team than to have no team in the city, right? Look what happened to St. Louis! Bet they wish they still had the Rams. So, I get it when it comes to continuing to support the Bengals no matter what.

Yeah, no kidding! There's probably more substance abuse than just pills and booze. We've heard rumors he used to do Cocaine and now that he's older, he's apparently in love with pain killers (opiods). Whatever, as long as he brings us a Superbowl title.

I'm sure Irsay is no different than some other owners--especially MB--in that he wants to give the HC as much rope as he can because i'm sure colts fans wanted Pagano gone before this year. 

Problem with Bengals fans is, MB is willing to buy new rope when the old rope runs out. Over and over again.

Yeah... you can say that again! 15 years is a loooonnng fricken' rope!

I don't know how y'all manage to put up with it, year after year.

Lol! We see eye-to-eye on this! I'm curious to see if Irsay can bring a Superbowl to Indy post-Manning. In some ways, I think Peyton is better than Brady. Why? Because Brady has Belichick and a good cast of characters. Peyton had to be not only a QB, but the HC as well. And his cast of characters were spotty at best. Indy's defense were never solid. They made it work, but it was never as solid the Patriots defense.

BTW... did you shed a tear when Carson Palmer retired? Wasn't he the golden boy in Cincy at some point?
