He desperately needs a GM that can separate business from personal issues, but it's not happening until he decides to step away for good. I agree 100% that he should have canned Lewis years ago, and the responsibility ultimately lies with him.
To me, Marvin is a poor man's John Cooper. Good enough to beat the teams he's supposed to beat and won a lot of games because of it, but crumbles under the pressure in big spots. He's taken the Bengals as far as he can take them, and that's been apparent for a long time.
Cooper won plenty of big games with OSU but just couldn't beat scUM and lost more than his share of Bowl games..He won a Rose Bowl over a top 5 team in ASU, a Sugar bowl over a highly ranked A&M team, beat ND twice who was top ten and had plenty of wins of top 5-10 PSU teams..
