This is the first time I've been on since the Dallas loss. I didn't even listen to the clip from Smith. BUT, I'm not sure race had anything to do with it, and it shouldn't. Nobody but us holds onto non-productive coaches longer. And when it comes to Marvin, I have said on numerous occasions he should have been gone long ago. NOBODY consistently puts a team on the field in a road game that looks like they've never even played together before more than Marvin. Nobody makes worse/no halftime adjustments more consistently. Very few coaches in the league are less inspiring when you look over at the sidelines at any given point in the game. This brings up the next problem, though. The Bengals aren't known for getting rid of a coach and going out and hiring a top tier experienced guy. Hindsight is easy, but more than a few of us here wanted to dump Marvin and promote Zimmer even though we were making the playoffs. Too late for that obviously, but a move needs to be made sooner rather than later. Go get a real coach (not some obscure coordinator) and see if it doesn't make a difference. We are going nowhere now as it is, and I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel this week,either.
