We all wanted Marvin to go, but here is something I don't think many of us have thought about.
There are around 8 teams releasing coaches and looking for new blood. This means that we would have to compete for these coaches with about 25% of the league. Cincinnati, believe it or not, is not a desired situation for head coaching. Most coaches would choose other options, either because of the freedom they would have with that franchise, or for fiscal reasons.
This leaves Mike Brown/Cincinnati scraping the bottom of the barrel for coaching candidates. Any ideal candidates will have signed somewhere else. Honestly, we would probably end up with a coach WORSE than Marvin (hard to believe eh? well they are out there).
I don't think it's a buyers market by any means, and Mike Brown probably sees it this way as well. Hang onto Marvin for a bit longer until there are less teams to compete with for candidates.
(I guess the moral of the story is, we probably could have had a worse candidate, so you should stick with Marvin one more time! )
