Here's an honest question for you.  Could a coach like Belicheck, Reid, Garrett, McCarthy take this 2017 Bengals team past the first round of the playoffs?

I'm saying yes.

Do I think this team makes the playoffs this year?  Not a chance.

But yes, MB is to blame for keeping Marvin.  Actually, I wish Marvin would've just quit so MB wouldn't have to find the balls to fire him.

Mike Brown has the final say as GM. So if his team loses a playoff game because your fat slow MLB can't cover (Maualuga and those like 7 straight completions in his coverage that one year) then it's partially on him.

If his team loses a playoff game because he drafted a RB who couldn't hold onto the football when it mattered most (Hill), that's partially on him.

I mean, Mike Brown started his career as Owner/GM by getting rid of Sam Wyche and Boomer Esiason, and going on a 14 season streak of no winning seasons. He'll have been Owner/GM for 27 years once this year has passed, and his team has never won a playoff game, the only team to not do that in that time span. Let me remind you that the team won a playoff game the year before Mike Brown took over, and was in the SB 3 years before Mike Brown took over.

You want to say it's Marvin's fault? Sure, it is his fault that he couldn't coach a team out of a wet paper bag when the pressure is on, but guess who hired Marvin, and keeps re-signing Marvin? That's right, Mike Brown.

You can blame Mike Brown all you want and it'll always be fair, because when it comes down to it, he's got the final say in everything.
