This is very true. I remember in 03 it came down to Marvin, Coughlin, and Mike Mularkey as the Bengals choices. Mike wanted Coughlin, but Coughlin wanted some power and Mike didn't like that. He was looking at Mularkey as his backup. Katie and Troy pushed for Marvin and convinced Mike to go with him.
This past time around, it was Troy, Katie, and Duke heading up the search. I think Mike would've signed off on anyone they presented to him. A lot of the media members noted that Mike really wanted Hue, but he knew that would basically kill off the fan base so there was no chance at hiring him. Dehner mentioned that the front office was sold on the current roster and thought that they only needed new coaches, which lead to the inactive free agency. There are some rumors that Zac was sold on not changing the roster much which made him popular to the search committee.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
