You could hire a guy like Sean Payton or Tom Coughlin, and they may never get you back to the playoffs. You could hire a coordinator that's never been a HC, and he may take you to the SB. There's just no way of knowing. I do have faith that a committee of Mike, Katie, Troy and maybe Duke could land a solid replacement. After all, Mike and Katie did give us Marvin. But again, there are no guarantees, and if that's the determining factor for replacing Marvin...then Marvin is never leaving.

I'm not saying you are going to "know" they will be better, but you gotta have a certain idea that the new guy is going to better than the old guy before you let go of the old guy. It's tough to find someone that fits that bill when comparing them to Marvin Lewis, who really has changed the mentality of the Bengals' organization.

And you are right, you still don't know.
