WHERE DID MARVIN GO WRONG?

The D was weak in the pre-Zim days, and Guenther just kept what Zimmer had going, although to a slightly less successful degree. I'm worried that a mediocre candidate like Austin will lead us to more pre-Zimmer-like results.

On the flip side, I think Marv's defensive mindset and conservative nature have handcuffed the offense.

Good point.  Perhaps the only explanation that I can think of is that being HC of the Bengals requires much more time devoted to managerial duties than HCs of other teams?  He is in a unique sort of position, on a very unique franchise (by most modern standards).

But, even at that, I would think that he would have time to speak with coaches during meetings.  You know, delegate what he wants to see done with the respective units.  That is a very interesting question that you bring up.
