No, I don't think so.
It's different when you are not just representing yourself but an organization. And an organization that places an extremely high emphasis on loyalty and preserving its profile.
Remember the days of the "gag" rule in player contracts? I bet Lee Johnson does!
I think most of the coaches that have come through here have a strong respect for the Brown family and it's heritage (mostly Paul Brown's heritage). It's toeing a very fine line to be yourself, be true to yourself but be true to the family's values.
Even now he won't say anything negative about them. And as much that comes out of a sincere love for them, I'm pretty sure there are things he could say...
Whatever else I may think he didn't do right, Marvin's a very classy guy.
