Burfict is a shining example of how Marvin does not have control of this team. They are sloppy, undisciplined, and apparently relaxed enough to yuk it up in the losing locker room - after a loss that basically ended their season.
Marvin has done a lot of good over the years for this team, and the city of Cincinnati. This franchise was barely a real NFL team when he got here. Seriously. Every aspect of the operation was a mess, and the league regarded the Bengals as so bad, they were diluting the NFL product, by basically being an automatic W, week in and week out. Even the facilities were run down to the point where tons of college programs had better weight rooms, locker rooms, etc.. Part of the changes that happened around then were due to pressure from the league on Mike Brown, but Marvin helped lead those changes, and turn the team around on the field. I don't think he deserves hate or disrespect. He had a good run here, but overstayed his welcome.
I think he should have been canned after the debacle playoff game against the Steelers. That was the no brainer time to do it, and probably a couple years beyond when he really should have been let go.
