Hobson on Mike's reluctance to change

[*ochocincos*]

A risk taker Mike Brown is not.

Mike Brown is sitting here fearing of being the worst team in the league so his basis for current regime is that they are good enough.
Mike takes the approach of "good enough" like he's part of a different industry like software. Like comparing Apple to Google if the Bengals were Apple.
"Mike, why aren't you pushing to make Apple be more innovative and really drive up profits, like Google?"
"Well, you can't really compare us to Google because we do different things. We're still making good revenue and are coming up with some innovative things like the iPhone 8, so I think we're doing just fine. We're not just sitting around doing nothing. At least we aren't as bad as MySpace!"
That may be a fine strategy for a tech company to just be steady, solid, and reliable without having to always try to be the best at everything, but it's different in sports.

This just openly confirms what many of us have assumed for so many years. Mike Brown is afraid of change and being a bottom-tier team again, so he is satisfied with the way his team has been.
