BengalszoneBilly Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 This whole story is ludicrous. He should have been held accountable many years ago. He has had many a potent team under his command and they falter under pressure of big games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishbengal Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Marvin is the equivalent of a premature ejaculation. He can get it up, but it's all over and done with way before it should be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COB Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 It's sort of ironic. Paul Alexander may finally get his chance. And he'll get the chance to be head coach by sucking so bad at being a position coach that he basically gets his head coach fired. Brilliant.

He has only been there for like 25 years or something, he probably expects to be the next head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's built quite a resume. He got hired by Mike and then has been a coach for a long time. End of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passepartout Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Well if he does not deliver in the playoffs and win, in 2018 there could be a new coaching blood and even a staff in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reportedly he was going to quit when they hired Marvin instead of promoting him, and that's why they gave him the assistant HC title. So yeah, do not be surprised if that happens. Which is why I always say be careful about wishing for Marvin to go, because it just might happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it will be a bitter, fatalistic sort of fandom. I'll root for weird stuff. I'll start writing letters to the cheerleaders, and I'll copy Katie on all of them. I'll build a trebuchet and use it to launch a huge shovelhead catfish from a boat on the river onto the PBS field during a game. If it lands on head coach Alexander, well that's just the risk we all take of getting brained with a giant shovelhead at any given time. It could be happening to Morgan Fairchild right now, you just never know. I'll send Mike several sternly worded emails. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Welcome back to the 90s of that ever happens. I guess anything can happen though. Nothing surprises me anymore with what happens with this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passepartout Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Well it is SB or bust this year for Marvin. Heard after he wins and just a big if, he would retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Should have been gone years ago. After last season none of this should be surprising to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted July 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 FWIW, Doc thinks that Mike Brown is actually (semi-) serious about a coaching change if the season goes poorly. I say only "semi" because he's probably right about the definition of a poor season. Quote That said, I think Brown is making it clear without making it clear that another 6- or 7-win season will cause the house lights to come up. Notice I didn’t say “a playoff win.’’ This is still Mike we’re talking about. But it’s also the first time I’ve ever felt as if there were genuine heat on the head coach. Brown’s aversion to change and affection for personal relationships with those who work for him has prohibited even a substantial discussion of a coaching change in the past. Not now. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/blogs/daugherty-blog/2017/07/26/morning-line-726/104011286/ If they win 6-7 games and there's no change, fans will riot.

ArmyBengal Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I would like to say I will lose my mind if Marvin sticks after another poor season, but I've become so accustomed to it that "lose my mind" equates to very little these days. What would fans do and would anyone in the front office give a shit ?? The answers are "nothing" and "no". Where's the 2018 draft again ???

COB Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 If he doesn't win 8 games minimum, he's gone. If he does win 8 games, I'll be shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I should clarify... Not accustomed to him losing, but rather him sticking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point Marvin is a remarkable football coach thanks to that one trait - longevity. Imagine a 25 year old Bengals fan. Let's say he started paying attention around age 10. To that whole age group of fans, Marvin kind of is the Bengals. That's all they've known as a coach. Players come and go, but Marvin is still there trying to figure out clock management and whether it's best to let a new player see the field in the 3rd year or the 4th year of his contract.

COB Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 I just sent Marvin a day pass to the Ohio State Fair that includes unlimited rides on the midway. We'll see what develops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
