"I think I know that the success and failure in this business isn’t always the head coach. He’s a big part of it but he’s not all of it. I think that’s true when you succeed and when you are maybe a little short of what you want to be. I have come to be a little more patient. Maybe I am not right. There are people who think that way. I’ve put my bet down. We will see how it turns out.”
What are the chances Mike thinks he was wrong? Even if he does, what are the odds that he'll admit it?
My guess is that he'll look at the 4-1 start this year the same way he looked at the 4-3 finish last year. That start, combined with the injuries will probably be all the excuse Mike needs to keep Marvin another year.
Man, I hope I'm wrong about that, but I don't have much confidence that any real changes are going to happen.
Nail meet hammer ! I can already here the end of the season presser "we were so close, started out four and one, we made the right off season moves and then the injuries set in"
I can honestly say that if either of the things in the OP happen my Bengals fandom will be at an all time low. Enough is enough
