1 winning season in his first 6 years.
0 winning seasons in his last 3 years.

His entire "success" is squandering the prime years of Green/Atkins/Dunlap/Whit/etc in a couple years in a row of winning 10-ish games and shitting their pants in the first round of the playoffs.

Outside of that small stretch, he has actually been a really bad coach. 7 winning years out of 16, and 5 of them came in that stretch. That means outside of the '11-'15 stretch where they had possibly the most talented teams in Bengals history (and still got 0 playoff wins), he had 2 winning seasons in the other 11 years.

Almost every coach is going to suck if you take away their top 5 seasons.  What kind of logic is that?  If you take away Sean Payton's 5 best years he also only has 2 winning seasons.

Only difference is that Payton was not handicapped by working for the worst owner in the league.
