I’m not. Best coach the Vikes have had since Denny.Still upset that Zimmer left and Marvin stayed.
He was on s year to year contract and is not pursuing another year. Whether that is his decision or not is up to him.Funny that he is "leaving" rather than "fired," which is something Mike Brown has proven he would never do.
They were a perennial playoff team until last year. They had some terrible luck in the playoffs between multiple aj green injuries and that debacle of a game against the Steelers. They developed sanu and Marvin Jones but never had both healthy at once. One year in the playoffs their leading receiver was rex Burkhead.About 10 years too late.
Gotta root heavily for the Rams and Eagles as they brought in fresh ideas on the O side of the field and are thriving. May be the Bengals FO is paying attention.Mediocre coach. Good DC. No idea why NFL owners have such trouble differentiating between those roles.
15 games over .500 in 15 seasons, 0-7 in the playoffs.4 years at least
FisherNot sure who the most overrated coach of all-time is, ,Marvin Lewis or Jeff Fisher.
Yep.15 games over .500 in 15 seasons, 0-7 in the playoffs.
If Caldwell stayed another 11, that's exactly where I would expect him to be; make the playoffs every other year (easy schedule), lose in the first round, miss the playoffs (ooooh, just barely!) when it's a tough schedule.
Martha, we can do better. Do the right thing.
I could see them hire Gunther. That would be terrible. They need to clean house and bring in fresh ideas.A creative young coaching staff could get a lot out of the pieces and weapons Cinci has on offense and defense...
They will make a terrible good ol' boy hire and stay the same though.
Ya, so were the Patriots before Bill Belichick. Embracing mediocrity gets you just that.I know people are happy Marvin is moving on, and its probably time. But, I think people forget just how bad the Bengals organization was before Lewis was hired. The absolute worst organization in the NFL - on par with the then hapless Clippers for worst organization in all professional sports. Lewis brought stability and pride back to the Bengals.

Definite possibility IMOi hope they hire Hue Jackson away from the Browns.
OOFYa, so were the Patriots before Bill Belichick. Embracing mediocrity gets you just that.
So I’ll just change it from BB to Pete Carroll another coach who is one of the best in the NFL and you’ll still be wrong.
In the 4 seasons prior to Bellichick the Patriots were - 8-8, 9-7, 10-6, 11-5
In the 4 seasons prior to Lewis the Bengals were - 2-14, 6-10, 4-12, 4-12

Hire him away? He should be canned and available.i hope they hire Hue Jackson away from the Browns.
Fisher in a landslide.Not sure who the most overrated coach of all-time is, ,Marvin Lewis or Jeff Fisher.
Yeah, not even close after seeing what a coach with no experience has done with the same team Fischer made a laughing stock a year ago.Fisher in a landslide.
Tubby Smith won a National Championship, albeit with Rick Pitino's team.Marvin Lewis is the tubby Smith of football. Solid coach, even more solid person, won't embarrass you but will never lead you to greatness.
They will miss him more than they think. The browns will finish above them in the standings as early as next year.
Tubby was a very good game day coach, Marvin notsomuch.Marvin Lewis is the tubby Smith of football. Solid coach, even more solid person, won't embarrass you but will never lead you to greatness.

A moral victory for 3rd place in the Division?Shutout said:Marvin Lewis is the tubby Smith of football. Solid coach, even more solid person, won't embarrass you but will never lead you to greatness.
