Is Marvin really gone?

Having an ex coach who couldn’t win a playoff game to save his life does not lend favor to possible success? Think about it? The failure is still present in the organization. It’s bad enough having Mike B. As the puppet master but consider now two puppet masters who can’t win a playoff game controlling the season. I feel failure would be even more so deeply rooted in our organization than it already is? I could be wrong but nothing feels right even considering such a move. In addition, this is the perfect setup for promoting a coach within because I wouldn’t think even 1 coach would consider coming to Cincinnati under them circumstances.

I agree with you and Harley on this.  However, to play devil's advocate here, being a good coach and being a good GM are two different things.  How many GMs across the league have never played a down?  Or coached?  I gotta say, Marv has an eye for talent.....you just never know.  That being said, I'm for a TOTAL clean slate.....and a real GM.
