And yeah, what we needed most was a coaching overhaul. We weren't winning shit with Marv, 0-7.

We've been saying this since the week 9 bye or so last year.  The idea was that we were 4-1 and 5-3 and "shoulda beat the Steelers and been 5-1 or 6-3" before we got injured and had zero chance at a respectable year.  When people were talking up the start to the year and blaming injuries I was telling them to can it before Mike Brown read the message board and decided Marvin Lewis should get another shot.

And when Marvin was here we made the playoffs in 6 of 7 years and people were debating if we were truly living the golden age of Bengals football and that teams that won the SB and then went 4-12 the next year should envy us.  It's been a long and crazy 16 years or so.

At any rate, Marvin had this team "looking grand" before injuries "wrecked everything" so ZT might have to get to winning in a hurry.
