Marvin can't save this D. He never has been able to. Only reason the D was respectable was because of Zimmer and his scheme.

The D breaking records (bad ones), should be enough to get Marvin - the Defensive guru- canned. But there's been enough to get Marvin canned the past 15 years and it's never happened. And won't.

And it's not a given Katie and Co will manage the team any different. They would have called a family meeting and made changes by now if she and her husband really thought it was time for a new direction. Marvin's big 4 coaching issues (Playoffs, Primetime games, Steelers, and post bye losses) still haven't been corrected, and likely won't be.

JaMarcus Russell thinks “Blitz” is a brand of beer.

B ) You're going to hire an offensive coordinator from outside of the organization mid-season?
C ) What has Lazor done? The defense has been really bad, but our offense consists mainly of running screens and 3 yard throws.

The Bengals had Marvin Lewis's contract up and Lewis was hinting at leaving and Mike Brown was kind of freaking out.

They can easily afford Del Rio, Brown just isn't going to pony up the money to make something like that happen. You're right that the Family would have Hobson spin it that way, but they have the money. Maybe the Family could use some of the money they made from charging players to rent television at training camp towards bringing in a better class of coordinator.

Why did you give us a link of a jubilant Andy dancing after such a horrendous loss?

Not yet, I will when I get my work caught up.

Why not? Coaching beats doing nothing!

Exactly. They're not interested in it.

Brown is probably in the process of giving Teryl an extension

Probably like, in 2 years...you're our HC. Gotta just go with the flow!

I really should not have clicked that...

Full disclosure: I watched the entire thing, didn’t even mute it. I couldn’t stop watching, it was hilarious. As a side note, I now feel better about my dancing abilities and I’m thinking about hitting up the club and getting jiggy wit it.

Apparently 51 points and 500 yards was Mike Brown’s tipping point.

Yep ..

Ah, have a sense of humor.  Bonus points because some don't seem to know what a rick roll is.

Just saw that Marvin Lewis is taking over DC position for the rest of the year.

Wow. Dude can barely handle his own responsibilities. Should be a shit show.

Would you have preferred Haslett? Or do you just want to complain either way?

I remember Jim LeClair. He was a tackling machine!
