COB Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 WLW just bailed on the presser. Basically so most of the WLW staff who are Bengals fans can go kill themselves. No changes, other than to "we'll" review the coaches and possibly make changes. Mike spazzed when the brought up scouting. That is a hot button issue to him there.

volcom69 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Well guess Marvin realized he couldnt get any better jobs, so he came back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Before wlw cut it off it sounded like you bubble fetishists will finally get your way. As for coaching staff changes, sounds like there may be some but not announced today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Sounds like everything is Marvins fault anyways, maybe it was a mistake bringing him back. What was the point, nothing is going to change, i guess Marvin has no balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Now WLW went back to the presser. Marvin is answering questions from ink-stained wretches.One just asked what Marvin got in concessions. Marvin refuses to answer. This is a lot of CIA stuff going on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COB Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Marvin is obfuscating so fast and hard that WLW on-air personnel back at the station are talking over the press conference bitching about how the Bengals won't tell anyone anything, they just want everyone to buy tickets. "What a D-bag" - WLW guy talking about Mike while Mike is refusing to even answer how long Marvin's new contract is for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonf45uk Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 can't imagine anyones suprised with marvins return. He's got it sweet,no pressure to perform.....keep job win,lose or draw. Must be nice..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Classic Mike Brown. He holds a press conference to announce signing the coach, and now he refuses to say how much Marvin is getting paid, or even how long the term of the contract is. Marvin refuses to acknowledge that he even wanted anything changed, let alone whether any changes are actually forthcoming.That was the wierdest press conference I've ever heard from the Bengals, and that is saying something.

membengal Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hobson can report what he want but taking ml at what he said in the presser, there may very well be changes yet to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC_Bengals_Fan Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hardly. You're the one claiming a head coach with 8 years experience coaching this team lacks enough control to be held responsible for it's record.That's true (to an extent) of any coach who doesn't have final say over rosters and staff. Doubly true for a coach who works for a GM with a poor track record. If he can't do the things he deems necessary to be successful, and those very things blow up in his face, well, whaddya think?I embrace change and admit it was needed, but right now I'm having a hard time accepting the idea of a head coach whose team completely bottomed out will be given a new contract and more control. I won't argue whether it was wise to bring Marvin back or not. I'm the sort that doesn't make rash changes until I've got a plan in place. So if I were to fire Marvin...in favor of whom (who would actually take the job)? There may be answers to that question, but I'd want it answered before I canned Marvin.As to the control - whose winning percentage is better - Marvin's or Mikey's? Since those are the only two candidates (we're not getting a GM, remember), I have no problem whatsoever giving Marvin more control in this situation. I don't have to claim that it's a globally optimal scenario (it's not), just that it's better than the alternative. Remind me again what blame Marvin was forced to eat. You just absolved him of nearly all responsibility, and the team just gave him a new contract. I absolve him of responsibility for the things he can't control, which is apparently the roster, the draft, and the coaching staff. Basically, everything off the field. I give him blame for the things he can control, most notably development of younger players and time management in-game. Playcalling? Depends on what happens behind the scenes, and we don't know. But if you were a DA and you're trying to figure out who went pass happy, who's your suspect - they offensive coordinator who loves the long ball, the owner who's in love with the passing game, or...the defensive guru? Come on. You're not getting an indictment, counsellor. We're eight years into this thing, right? When does Marvin become accountable for all of his record, as opposed to just a portion of it?When he gets a boss who isn't incompetent.

UK Bengal Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 brat could still be fired after the senior bowl doubtfull but possible and I honestly think that there would have been changes if we had a CBA but we havent atm so stick to the same staff to provide stability not what we wanted to hear but makes business sence.

Or a news crew filming his reaction as his pass key doesn't work when he tries to enter the stadium.I NEED it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
