chrishcovga Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 With the recent extension, I couldn't help but ponder the Question! :player: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsfan33 Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 He's a Bengal for life IMO. He's done so much for this team already that no other coach has done in a long time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalByTheBay Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Been wondering about this myself today Chris. Can't help but notice the 1-year-at-a-time extensions and I'm speculating that ML (rather than MB) is behind it. I would love to lock him up for 5 years, but I figure he's trying to keep his options open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Been wondering about this myself today Chris.

I would love to lock him up for 5 years, but I figure he's trying to keep his options open. This is a weird complaint.The Mike Brown that everyone seems to fear would not be giving one year extensions and a raise with each one. The Mike Brown that everyone seems to fear would say "ML is under a contract and we expect him to honor that contract and we will evaluate his contract when it is up"...I think it is phenomenally good news that Brown is kicking over the raises (Geoff Hobson thinks ML is making $2 million a year now...think about that a minute) when he doesn't have to and good news that ML is happy to take the extensions.Let's not always assume the boogeyman is behind every move the Bengals make...

JPW Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Some other desperate team offers boat load of draft picks for his services and he leaves before 2008I think that the NFL put an end to Trades for Coaches and that it is no longer allowed.In any case, I say ML will be a Bengal for Life !

BengalNation1281 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I just don't see ML leaving anytime in the near future, and I don't see him leaving in the far future, either. Cincinnati gave him a chance when others had passed him by numerous times, and with the job that he's done, the loyalty that he's sewn, and his commitment to this team being as strong as it is, I see him staying for a very, very long time. Other jobs with higher-profile teams might open up between now and 2008, but by then we will be a consistent playoff contender and a force to be reckoned with, and ML won't want to go.ML 4 Life :player: :player: :player: :player: BN1281 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jditty47 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 2 bad years and u will think otherwise. if he stays on the pace he is and starts making the playoffs he can be here a long while. if not, he'll be just like the rest. now lets see wtf he is capable of gdi.
