What WOULD it take, really?

We've thought about it and what-if-ed it into the dust, but I'm just sitting here thinking, "What WOULD it take for Mike Brown to step down as Bengals President, GM and Grand Pooh-Bah?"

We all know by now (even though the Bengals have never actually gone 0-16) that there is no depth to which this team could sink (the last Bengals owner to preside over a playoff victory has been DEAD for 18 years...I call that pretty low!) that would convince him that a GM might know more about football operations and building a consistent winner on the field. But I got to thinking after reading Kirk's "Trust Manifesto," ...what about going in the opposite direction? How much SUCCESS would it take for Mike Brown to decide, "My work here is done?"

Or, if not success, what kind of cataclysmic event would it take? What kind of edict from The Chancellor, perhaps? I don't know...whaddy'all think?

One-line answers. Pretend you're tweeting or something, I dunno....What would it take for Mike Brown to step down?

Honestly

I think he steps down when he’s good and ready. Nothing else.

It's a small market team that has been in the family since day one.

He will only step down in bad health and hand it over to Katie. She may or may not hire a GM but it won’t happen while the old man is calling the shots.
