I think it's his business model that's broken.

Imagine IF like mid-1990 the Bengals hire a GM like John Dorsey. Law of averages state they probably have 4-5 playoff wins right now and a Super Bowl appearance over that span.

They chose to just make minor tweaks to the model. Then when they made the playoffs 5 years in a row, they thought that was the pinnacle of success and the Model Model article came out.

Was thinking the same thing this morning. Those 5 playoff appearances are actually bad for the franchise because Mikey sees them as successes, he can say his 'model' works because it has in the past. So why change it. 

"Imagine IF like mid-1990 the Bengals hire a GM like John Dorsey. Law of averages state they probably have 4-5 playoff wins right now and a Super Bowl appearance over that span." And if he had done this his franchise would be worth another $500 million or so. Which is why he is a dumb businessman.
