At this point I'm willing to give anybody else a shot, so we can finally move on from Lewis. He's been a great turn around HC, but he just doesn't have that killer instinct or ability to perform under pressure.

I don't know about any actual "rumors", other than the ones created in our minds on this board.  However, it would have been excellent to turn over a roster this talented to such a dutiful taskmaster as Mike Zimmer. 

My personal "guess" is that he wanted too much institutional control for the Bengals front office to be comfortable with turning everything over.

We'll see.  I was much more impressed with his defensive product this past season, than I was in his "rookie" year as DC.  With the changes in personnel, particularly in the secondary, we shall truly see what Pauly G. is made of, this year.
