You finally let Marvin go and roll the dice with Hue for 15 years or just remain mediocre. I think we're screwed no matter what "ground breaking" moves Mike makes, if any at all.

So as much as I hate the thought, I guess I would be fine with moving on from Marvin since it's some kind of change. Maybe most of the staff will go also. And maybe Mikey won't hang from Hues nuts for 15 years. But fromMarvin to Hue sure take the joy out of it. Geeze only the Bengals.

His run with Cleveland was terrible, but it allowed them to build the foundation of their current team. Is Hue as bad as Cleveland’s record over his tenure? No, they were burning it down to build it back. Bringing in Dorsey was key. They were starting to win with Hue, and most of the beef with the players is that Hue landed with a rival immediately after being fired.

Promoting Hue to HC also gives the team a chance to put Marvin in a front office role that he’d likely do better in. While Hue would not be my 1st,2nd,3rd, or 5th choice for HC, at this point any change is good change.

Draft picks has been horrible, players don't develop, he never wants to play players no matter where they are drafted. I just don't get why we should settle for Marvin as GM. He would be my last pick at this point. No reason to keep him as GM just to get him off the sideline. I get it that everyone wants a GM and Marvin might be the closest to Mikey for this to ever happen but I don't see it working out like we hope. And after another 15 years he will retire and we will be back to no GM. Marvin is not GM material and nothing other than Mikey being comfortable with him qualifies him.

I mean, if he cared about seeing major success before he dies, you'd think even a stubborn moron could see that Marv isn't getting it. Even if playoffs were the goal, Marvin hasn't even been reaching that low bar for the last 3 seasons. So either Mike takes great joy in sticking it to the local fans, or he just views Marv as family and refuses to fire him no matter what. Maybe both.

I certainly know Marv will continue to shamelessly pick up checks as long as Mike is offering.
