Giving an outside GM full control is a big step for the Bengals.  Not only would they be giving an outsider full control of Football operations, he will likely also command a large salary.  However, if you look at the traditional winners of the past 20 years, it's not tough to see that the smart money is invested into great coaching and scouting.  Any serious GM candidate will require those freedoms, in order to even seriously consider accepting the position.

The increase in budget should easily be offset by selling out the stadium, every game of the year.  And, by increased merchandise sales from fans old and new, jumping onto the "new generation" Bengals bandwagon.  

It's a hard sell, for sure.  But, what do the family members that will inherit the team have to lose?  Nothing, as they inherited it to begin with.  So, why not invest into Paul Brown's legacy, and start running the organization like a modern era sports franchise?

What a dream but this would be the best way to turn this culture around, great post Sunset.

I am right there with Wyche and lots of Bengal fans that if MB, Marv and PA are back i am done hoping for true success.

My attentions will be elsewhere. I would come on here and talk to you guys from time to time but much less caring about the team.

Will always hope against hope and be a Bengals fan but have never been a fan of how MB has run things.

And as much as some on here call MB a cheapskate which i agree with i don't think he is an evil human being and he loves his daughter.

If he steps aside, Katie hires a new GM and we have new coaches this team could go the distance.

The team is not far off with the right moves.

Well, that is pretty much what i meant. Still would be my favorite team even if there is no hope though, sucks. The Bengals are my team.

I won't buy any merchandise as long as that goes on, but i would still come on here and talk with the brothers and sisters of the board.
