This is the same thing Mike Brown said when he let Max Montoya and Steinbach go. It is this law school approach and no football knowledge that will forever doom this franchise as long as they run things. If they do fire Marvin, don't celebrate too much. As long as Mike Brown and Family run things, there is nothing to celebrate.
You've repeated this over and over and over. Pretty much every Bengals fan knows that Mike is the root of the problem and has been for 26 years. However, Marvin's been here for 15 of those years now. He's basically become part of the 'family'. He's also part of the problem, which is why he also deserves his share of the blame.
Hell when you look at the history of this franchise, even with Paul, there have only been 3 seasons out of the previous 49 where they've had any postseason success. This fan base is desperate to see a playoff win.
That's why, if Marvin is fired or decides not to return, fans will celebrate. Why? Because that's the only hope we have -- hope that (somehow, someway) a new coach can do the impossible and overcome ownership to win a Super Bowl, or at least a damn playoff game.
