Marvin Lewis's Return Threshold

Anything less than a playoff win he should be done. I'm not really even sure that's enough ?

Actually, I hope it's not. My biggest fear is we make the playoffs, win in some fluky fashion (like we should have done against Pitt a couple of seasons ago), get steamrolled in the next round... And Marv is given an extension. Thus resulting in more years of consistent failure when it counts.

Take a look at his Primetime record... What is it, 8-30 overall? If Marv somehow made the playoffs 30 times (I pray he's not around that long  :mellow: ) I imagine his overall playoff record would be the same. That's still roughly a 27% winning percentage. That is abysmal.

But point is, given enough chances, the law of averages could become Marv's best friend. It scares me because I could easily see the Brown family seeing this theoretical playoff win as "Oh joy! At long last, Marvin finally won a playoff game! We're finally over the hump!" Without looking at the bigger picture. Odds are, Marv's playoff ineptitude would continue.
