Let's face it that's the true hurdle he has to clear. It's not who the position coaches are, it's not what players he gets in free agency, it's not who he drafts, it's not what offense he runs.

This team has a history of losing nearly three decades long, even in the playoff seasons we were one and done all 7 times ! We fold up under the lights nearly every time, rarely do we beat the good teams in the league when we need it most. We implode at the slightest sign of adversity way more often than not. The Steelers have owned us for far to long now. And the list goes on.

Can he get that culture turned around ? Can he win with the leagues worst GM ? Can he get this team to focus on team and not I ? Can he get this team to stay steady under pressure, can he get them to buy in ? Can he get them to not listen to the noise against Pittsburgh ?

That's his biggest test of all

Mark Twain once said of Cincinnati (the town, not the Bengals  ) "When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati because they are always 20 years behind the times".  

The Bengals must stop playing conservative (on both sides of the ball) and become an innovative and aggressive team.  Do this, get more energy out of your players, and I think the rest will follow.
