Mike Brown admits losing the fanbase played a part in coaching change

The winds of change have been blowing throughout Paul Brown Stadium since the Bengals’ season ended.

Marvin Lewis was finally let go after 16 years, and his replacement was quickly found in the form of Zac Taylor. Letting Lewis go and hiring a young up-and-coming coach was something few, if anyone in Cincinnati thought was ever going to happen under Mike Brown’s watch.

On Tuesday, the Bengals held their introductory press conference for Taylor, where Brown also spoke to reporters. One of the most notable items to come from Brown’s remarks included a comment about how losing the fanbase played a part in the coaching change.
