It's what they said about Austin, Lazor, etc., etc., etc.
The best thing the Bengals have going for them is probability. It's pretty improbably to not win a playoff game in 28+ years. We'll eventually win one...and then Bengals.com will have a Model Model v2 article about how other teams copy our model of success. People will speculate that Katie is the best de facto GM ever too. Then, we'll have a down year and people will assume that MB took over again. That's how this thing works.
It seems like you have put this new staff in a 'no-win' box so that you'll be right regardless of what happens. If they fail, you can say ' I told you so' and if they succeed you'll dismiss it as 'eventuality'.
Truth is...'probability' -in terms of winning a playoff game - has gotten its ass thoroughly kicked for almost 3 decades now.
