I think Coach Lewis returns

I've never been in that camp and don't feel it is the case. I honestly think that Lewis has stuck around for so long in an attempt to finally achieve postseason success of any kind and to be able to depart from Cincinnati with a sense of accomplishment that overrides the failures and disappointments that continue to haunt him as a head coach. He just simply hasn't been able to do so.

However, I do think that -- in pursuit of that endeavor -- he has held on far too long and has further tarnished his reputation. 

Honestly, and even though some may say it is an absurd notion...


I believe if he would've been fired after the Chargers loss in the playoffs that he possibly could have landed another HC gig elsewhere.

It's those years that followed and the Steelers game meltdown that truly closed the door and solidified his reputation.
