First watch this video: (not the convo between Chad and Lewis, the part that plays after that.

I don't know who #55 is, but I do know there isn't a single accomplished LB on the Bengals roster. He's practically begging that guy to participate. This scene just disgusted me and convinced me that this is his last season as coach. After seeing this it's easy to see how things have gotten so out of hand with their off-field problems and the lack of heart on this team.

He should have been fired last year, but Cinci always takes a long time to do anything...Sam Wyche, David Shula, **** Lebeau, Marvin lewis, all of them seem to have coached 1 more season than they should have.

 

[comfortably numb]

You have to keep him.

He is the only one of the team without a parole officer.

Good role model for the club.

 

[The Man with the Plan]

He has a winning record as a coach of the Bengals. How many coaches in the franchise's history can say that? They're not a great team but before Marvin Lewis was the head coach they were the worst team in the NFL. Considering where the Bengals were in the past calling them a disappointing team under Marvin Lewis could even be considered a compliment.

Bengals record in 5 seasons with Marvin Lewis: 42-38

Bengals record in 5 previous seasons without Marvin Lewis: 19-61

That works if your team goal is to be slightly better than one of the worst teams in the league. The "look at how bad you were before I got here" argument only works for so long.

There are lots of reasons to rip on Marvin Lewis. That video isn't one of them.

Agreed. You don't need a YouTube video; just about any week on CBS this fall will do the trick.

Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Marvin's not getting a lot of love in this thread...

 

[Phurfur]

I think Lewis is like Ray Rhodes. A very good coordinator but a terrible HC and I think lack of control is the common thread.

I must've missed it but I don't see anything wrong in those videos. In fact, I thought it was big of him to go over to CJ and essentially offer an olive branch and CJ basically says f off.

I am trying to find something wrong with these videos too. By the way a quick look at the Bengals roster....55 is Brooks whom I recall is in danger of not making the team. I didn't take what was said as begging it was more I can't do it for you, you need to. As far as CJ goes, I have a hard time pitying him, he signed a contract less then 2 years ago same head coach, same owner the Bengals have had for years......if he was too stupid to see the ownership history when he signed then that is his problem, pout because you don't get your way you won't get any pity from me.Like what was said in this thread you can find plenty of things to show Marv sucks as a head coach, just can't see it in this videos.

Brooks is not in danger of not making the team. He's slated to start. I agree with everything else you say though. Screw Chad Johnson.
