16 years as Bengals Head Coach. (2003-2018) & signed thru 2019 would make it 17 years.
Assuming (as some do) that Marvin is a victim at every turn of his GM Mike Brown and that GM is holding back the true Greatness of Marvin as a Head Coach (at every turn), then it seems logical that someone possessing true Greatness would want to seek Greener Pastures somewhere else to fully allow his held back Greatness to finally shine through.
Why stay 16 to 17 years in this "held back", "victim of his GM" position ?
Why not free himself, find a better fit/GM and spread those wings and SOAR ?
I remember when Bill Belichick was given the job as Jets Head Coach in 1999 then Resigned a day later. Not long after that he became the Patriots Head Coach and the rest is history. He probably didn't feel that the Jets job offered him the best path to success. He sought out what was to him "greener pastures" so to speak.
A somewhat similar event occurred with Josh McDaniels when he was announced as the Colts Head Coach in early 2018 only to withdraw from that position on the same day to stay with the Patriots as an Offensive Co-ordinator.
Tom Coughlin would not come to Cincinnati due to wanting more of a say in GM type decisions involving the Roster.
Marvin himself is said to have held up Contract negotiations in order to gain more influence regarding Coaches he can hire and GM type decisions involving the Roster.
Did Marvin get all that he asked for in these areas in terms of gaining more Power from the GM ? He must have gotten enough of what he asked for to be satisfied with, causing him to stay ?
If at any point, Marvin felt that he did not have enough influence to avoid having his GM "hold back" the Greatness that Marvin felt he would achieve if only he had a better GM; then WHY did he not put himself on the Open Coaching Market at some point in the last 16 years ?
Get multiple Teams to Bid for his services and find that right fit. Find that right Organization and GM ?
Stop being the "held back" Victim and Self Determine his own Destiny ?
Unshackle his Greatness.
To those who blame Mike Brown at every turn for Marvin being "held back" by his GM that only hands Marvin so called "talent lacking" teams, I say it was Marvin himself that CHOSE to stay with this GM for all of these years.
But Why ?
Why has he stayed ?
Why did he not Free himself at some point and let those "greener pasture" offers roll in for better Head Coaching jobs with a better GM ?
Could it be that Marvin actually holds more influence over the decisions his GM makes than some suggest ?
Not so many "better" offers rolling in from "greener pasture" teams ?
Some other reason ?
