Can a HC have long-term success under the Bengals structure?

[THE PISTONS]

When Lewis was interviewed, Coughlin was also viewed as a strong candidate. I remember reading that Coughlin told friends that he questioned if he could win here and wanted to make changes. It was inferred that those changes were a GM and bringing the scouting up to league average.

Supposedly MB wanted Coughlin. Katie wanted Marvin.

I wonder if MB would have caved to making the changes with scouting?
