Watch how quickly SF falls after firing Harbaugh for that idiot Tomsula.  Look at how terrible CHI is after firing Lovie after a 10 win season. Stability breeds W's.  Look at the other team in our division... the one with fat idiot fans that join a Bengals message board.  They have had 3 coaches in 20+ years.  Not all of those seasons were winners.  

Stability breeds wins, but if after a period of time your HC hasn't shown an ability to get over the hump, making a change isn't necessarily a bad thing or a harbinger of becoming a bottom-feeder. The key to making a change is choosing a new HC that can maintain what you've been able to do, while getting over the playoff loss hump. 

Whether you can find that coach to come to Cincy is another question. But change isn't a guarantee of a step back.
