That's why teams have a GM.
It was reported one of Marvin's conditions to stay after the Carson debacle was more control. It has also been noted by Tobin and outside reporting, no team in the NFL has more input from coaches on personnel than the Bengals. We could put some of the blame on Duke Tobin for recent fails in drafting (also past success too), but by all accounts he is one of the most sought after GM candidates in the sport, either way its not on Brown (which seems to be this threads point). The last couple years Brown has done everything he has needed to for this team to be successful......except know when it was time to cut ties with Marvin.
So back to my point where we started, Browns real flaw was staying too loyal to Marvin. Everything else I'd lean more towards Marvin on.
