Having no Coaches under contract after the 2017 season offers Mike Brown likely his last chance to get it right.
The only problem is that GM Mike Brown informed his coaches that "talent is not the problem" which tells me that GM Mike Brown thinks that he has been doing his job as GM just fine.
Whitworth being a part of a Solid Plan to turn around the Rams by helping protect their young developing QB may not resonate with GM Mike Brown as being an example of another GM understanding the value of Mike Brown's players more than he does.
The Rams turnaround after firing Jeff Fisher and replacing him with Sean McVay is near amazing.
While they retained the same GM (Les Snead) they radically altered their strategies. Brought in Defensive Guru Wade Phillips. Acquired LT Andrew Whitworth and two veteran wide receivers in Sammy Watkins & Robert Woods.
Sean McVay given authority to change the Jeff Fisher culture and influence the Rams GM enough to chart a new course that is working.
The problem we have in Cincinnati is that "talent" has been part of the problem which is contrary to what Mike Brown said to his coaches who are also part of the problem.
The Rams saw Andrew Whitworth as a "talent" that they prized which makes their GM look smarter than our GM.
All Bengal Coaches contracts expire after 2017.
A Major Culture change will have to take place.
Players like Pac Man and maybe others may have to be moved out in conjunction with a New Coach from outside this Organization like a Sean McVay being brought in.
We don't just have a Marvin Culture that needs changed as the Jeff Fisher Culture was changed with the Rams.
We have a GM/Owner Culture that must first admit that he contributed to the Sinking Ship. Mike Brown allowed the Rams to acquire Whitworth to solve their Left Tackle problem. He must Own this mistake and others.
Mike Brown's last chance to get it right falls on himself.
He must seek out highly sought after candidates (like the next Sean McVay) for his Head Coaching job that come from proven systems or winning teams, invest some dollars into his coaching Staff at all levels and at his next Head Coach's discretion. Let that Head Coach bring in a Wade Phillips caliber co-ordinator as the Rams did if he choses. Invest dollars into it since it is your last chance.
Then let that New Coaching Staff shape how you General Manage, Mr. Brown.
Let them Reshape the Mike Brown Culture by supplying them with the talent they think best fits what they want to do. Players with skill sets and personalities that fit the New Coaching Staff's Culture have to be identified by that New Coaching Staff. Not you.
Your Culture is embodied by the Chad's and Pac Man's of the league.
You change Mr. Brown or it won't.
You have to stop putting Lipstick on this Pig...
