I think Mike Brown either already thought or was convinced by someone that the Bengals could be a true contender in 2018, only to find out it all backfired due to injuries and lack of depth or just pure good players in certain positions.

I would assume Grantham (and other candidates who have turned down the opportunity) asked about how they would be able to upgrade the defense (especially the LBs) and didn't like the answer given.

If you ask me, it says a lot about the guy's confidence in his own abilities.  Hey Taaaad, if we had a loaded defense, we probably would not be looking for a new DC.
