Since 2008, and I'm not sure those people were wrong. In the end, we've had a lot of all-time great Bengals who will go down having never won a playoff game over the last 10 years. Was keeping Marv the right move? That's very debatable. Those 5 playoff runs should've yielded more than just swift and embarrassing exits considering the talent and coordinators we had.

I'm sure there will be Marvin Lewis memory threads aplenty after he gets fired. I will certainly participate in that. 

Not sure he deserves a parade for being a .500 level coach with no playoff wins in 15 years, but I've always appreciated his role in turning things around all those years ago.
