I can see it now: that NFL Top 10 program "And Number 1 on our biggest blunders in sports history... The Cincinnati Bengals keeping Marvin Lewis over several super bowl winning head coaches"

We all thought the Bill Walsh thing was bad, wait until we see this happen 

Eh, I just don't like how he runs the defense. Soft coverage, lack of turnovers (from people not named Reggie Neslon), lack of sacks, too much broken coverage, too many stupid penalties, iffy tackling.

Plus pretty damn bad run defense. It didn't hurt them in 2015 too much because the offense was scoring enough that other teams had to throw to keep up, but the last three years they've finished 23rd, 22nd, and 18th in rushing YPC allowed. (15th, 11th, and 8th in the 3 years prior.)

Zimmer and Gruden have both taken their teams to the playoffs. (Not that either of those two are really Marvin's understudies.) Joseph went to the playoffs this year as the DC for the Dolphins.
