I fully expect him to be back next season, simply because I can't see Brown paying him to not work in 2017. This is the same reason I don't think we will see many of the assistants change, because they have time left on their contracts. I also don't expect them to be active in Free Agency because they are the Bengals. This leaves me wondering how long it will take to turn this around.
I guess I would suffer through a "lame duck" season, but don't think I can stick around if he gets an extension. I'm also not sure how much longer I can continue to support a Mike Brown owned team. For all the things that we tell ourselves have changed, the results continue to stay the same. I firmly believe the last couple years were the "crest" and this team is on a downward trajectory right now. Being a Bengals fan is what I would imagine it's like to have an alcoholic for a mate. You see the good and the positive in them, which gives you just enough hope to go on. You have some good times, but you always know the bad is coming. I have not lived in Southwest Ohio for 20 years, so it's not like anyone could blame me for starting to root for someone else...
