Could this be Mike Brown's last year?

However, let's suppose during this 50th Season the Bengals set a new low and go 0-16. Would that be enough for Mike Brown to officially step away and renounce ALL decision making duties and turn the team over officially to Katie?
This is supposed to be a banner year for the Bengals and they turn in their worst season in history. Would it be enough for MB to finally just walk away (figuratively speaking)?

Now, to his credit, Brown has given up a lot of control to Marvin, Tobin and Katie already. But, would he make it official and say he has NO authority anymore over the Bengals?

I know we all wish he would retire already, but would he?

I think this gets blown way out of proportion. I think Mike agreed to give up some power (verbally) to get Marvin to re-up. But it was more lip-service than anything else. In other words he's still running the vast majority of the show.

And to answer your question, no I don't think he'll step away until his health just won't let him do it anymore. I think Mike fancies himself a great GM ! And only bad player selection, bad luck, the football gods or whatever have kept him from winning it all.
