When the front office hired Marvin Lewis as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, this team was mired in a cesspool of negativity.
This man turned around the entire program. No more players just showing up for a paycheck. No more inmates running the asylum.
He has built a below average team into an "elite" team.

Now, I know, I get it, there are some out there that get annoyed by playoff losses, percieved weaknesses of the coaching staff, some even STILL jump on the bandwagon of "MB is cheap".

Isn't Marvin the best coach we have ever had???

Marvin Lewis has a vision involving the Super Bowl, Mike Brown, a trophy presentation and a stroll into the sunset. In that order. Lewis doesn’t say it will happen this year. He doesn’t say it won’t. He does say he’s not joking about the sunset.

“I want to hand Mike the trophy, then just walk away,’’ the Bengals coach declared at the team’s annual Weenie Roast And Mock Turtle Soupfest, also known as the pre-training camp media day.

Easier said than done, on all counts. Lewis swears he could walk away. Brown and Lewis swear that this could be the Bengals' year.

“We’re a pretty good team. I think we can give a good account of ourselves,’’ Brown said, in his formal and delicate way. No one else speaks quite like Mike. When someone asked him about the Bengals playoff drought, Brown said, “We haven’t driven the nail home. It doesn’t please me.’’

Lewis made it simpler: “We’re good enough, but we have to play good enough.’’

"Hey guys, win and you never have to see me again."

so lets say he succeeds this year and retires.   Who would we want to replace him in 2016?
