The Brown’s must be impressed with something. They doubled his salary and extended his contract to 5 years. But he was near the bottom. But with McVay almost going to the booth the Rams owner was ready to pounce on him with McVay’s glowing recommendation. The day after the Super Bowl Mike Brown got it immediately done.
Yeah I think he's done a great job in terms of selecting the right players to bring in, and developing team chemistry. I know people will say that it's Tobin that makes all the player decisions, but real fans know that the coaches have a huge input on this with the Bengals. Marv had a large input and so does Taylor (and his entire coaching staff). He's brought in leaders and high character guys with something to offer in terms of their talent and work ethic. The culture he has helped build is amazing.
The areas he's struggled are when it comes to X's and O's, scheming, game management, etc. This is where he's improved, and will need to improve further in my mind to be considered in the upper echelon of coaches. He's got a great growth mindset and that will benefit him. I hope to see him continue to learn and improve.
