Will You Be Seriously Done With The Bengals If....

There is another way he can go...

Draw a parallel to the whole FA issue.  He went out and spent what was, for him, big money on a WR with a bum knee and got nothing in return.  His response?  Screw that.  We're never spending more than a pittance in FA again.  He blamed the process, not his poor judgment.

The same thing could happen with a new HC.  First, he could say screw going outside the organization.  Or, he could decide to never give a HC much of a leash in the future.   Mike is a guy who doesn't learn from his mistakes.  Or hell, even admit them.  Instead, he blames the process.

This is all part of the negative influence the father had on the son--FA is evil, it is cruel to fire someone, whether they deserve it or not.  Don't think for a second that Paul's fingerprints aren't still all over the organization.  Difference is, Paul would have changed with the times.
