Even with his team's public opinion rating lower than its 3-10 record, Bengals President Mike Brown said Monday he doesn't feel pressured to make dramatic changes coinciding with next season's opening of Paul Brown Stadium. I did them because I thought they were right for the team over the long haul. As the Bengals savored their first two-game winning streak in two years, Brown wouldn't comment on speculation coach Bruce Coslet would be fired in the name of stadium public relations. But after his team rose to 10th in the offensive ratings, Brown continued to insist the Bengals must get better on defense but aren't as bad as their record and that the systems in place work. Well, I'm not so sure our coaches aren't good coaches.
Coaches are teachers.
The team didn't do as well because they don't have the players to do what they'd been doing before. I think if we get talent enough, what we do is workable. Now that the team is playing well, players aren't so sure how big the changes will be, or even if there's going to be any. I don't know, man. The new practice facility at the stadium has caught the players' attention.
