The firing of Mr. Austin took neither guts, vision or risk as you state. He oversaw a unit that was destined to claim it's place as the worst defense in the storied history of the NFL. They were forced -- by the reality of the situation -- to make the change.
i think perhaps for other organizations it may be a logical step faced with the reality of the situation...
..but for the Bengals , specifically for Mike Brown who is exceptionally loyal (blinkered/cheap/conservative...delete as per your viewpoint) the fact is this type of move at all, and especially mid season is rare.
You can rip them for hiring the wrong guy in the first place, but you can't rip them in this instance for sitting on the problem and fixing it end of season ...by which time its too late for this years playoff opportunity
