I won't lie, Piano Man's ouster has me a little bit positive for the first time in days, but I ain't ready to run out and buy a Bengals hat or anything....not even REMOTELY close to buying a ticket. Hell, I was offered free tickets by two different people on five different occasions and passed three times due to not wanting Son of Paul to get any concession money. (the other two times I was busy....but probably still would have passed). This after years of attending multiple games with free tickets, and as a paying ticket buyer.
Mikey has a LONG way to go to sell me again......
I’m not sure if even the national sports media “gets” what just happened between Mike and Marvin. Mike just relinquished control and that’s YUGE around here. Booting the Piano Man was long overdue and I can confidently assure you Marvin gave Mike an ultimatum: Keep me or keep him. Mike blinked. I’m with Cris Collinsworth who said Mike wants to win multiple Super Bowls but has no clue how.
I’m sure Bill Lazor will remain as offensive coordinator because he was with Marvin at today’s press conference and I think you’ll see a big name like Jack Del Rio or Jim Caldwell hired as defensive coordinator.
Mike still pisses me off too. He wanted to wait and see if Vance Joseph or Hue Jackson got fired because they are coaches who have operated under his tight control before and that’s the kind of coaches Mike wants...
...but let’s give credit to Marvin for talking some sense into the Son of Paul.
