It's not like Marvin hasn't had time to prove himself (15 years, right?). Look at Pagano... WAY less time than that, had several playoff victories, and even made it to the AFC Championship game once. He STILL got fired! Why? Under achieved and tried to be too cute a few times (remember that stupid-ass play he did when he lined up the center and the QB away from the other players?). Pagano over stayed his welcome and both the fanbase AND the team had enough.
I "thought" the Bengals had enough of Marvin as well. It sure looked like the fanbase did too.
So... he gets another EXTENSION instead of being fired?!!
That's pretty amusing to me. Most fanbases would have been driven nuts by such actions. I know "I" would! How do you think the Colts fanbase would have reacted if Pagano got a 2 year extension instead of being fired? The reason Luck was injured for a whole season was because of Pagano. He played him when he shouldn't have! So, I say good riddance.
I don't think you understand how the NFL works. Fans have no say in whether a coach stays or goes. No matter how much you want to believe it, coltsfan's uproar has no effect on an owner. They may give you lip service but what it comes down to is the owner's impatience with not winning playoff games/super bowls.
Mike Brown doesn't care about any of that. As long as he stays in the black and has something extra to go in the bank, he will get by as cheaply as he can.
