No GM? ✔️
No practice facility? ✔️
Smallest personnel department in the league? ✔️
These aren't things haters are reaching to hate...they are supposed to be the fundamentals of running a successful pro sports franchise. Pretty much everyone has these things except the Bengals, so the perception is definitely going to be "Mike Brown is cheap" until things change.
That's not our fault. It's Mike's.
The mini-splurge in free agency last year was nice for a change. So is the uniform change and potential Ring of Honor. But until the core values of this team changes, it's throwing lipstick on a pig.
We need to get with last century and hire a GM. Build a facility so these guys aren't practicing for warm weather games in the snow. Stop waiting 5 seasons too long to make clearly necessary coaching swaps. Get our scouting staff on par with the rest of the league and stop asking coaches to do double duty.
Until then, whether it's because Mike is cheap or not, that will be "The Family's" reputation.
Btw, Florio is a turd and his website is just a showcase of him and his very opinionated and biased political and football takes.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
