In his latest Hobson's Choice, one of Hobs' answers touched on why he thinks Mike is reluctant to change the status quo:
“Year after meaningless year?” Really? Three division titles since 2009? Yeah, I know. No post-season wins. But six post-seasons berths in eight years? Yeah, I know. It’s not the Patriots. But year after meaningless year? That’s a bit much for me.
I don’t think you can mistake the team’s approach for the media’s approach. This is Mike Brown’s style. He hates change. He thinks in the Green-Dalton Era he’s been on the brink of a championship. (Plenty of pundits have been with him, too.) Now, he may change his tune after this season, who knows, but this is why he’s hung with Marvin Lewis. He thinks he’s close and he thinks any kind of change is a setback. Agree with him or disagree with him, but franchises like Buffalo, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Miami and others that keep changing coaches and quarterbacks like socks and cell phones reinforce his fears."
