I think Marvin Lewis may just be the Dusty Baker of the NFL. He can show up and take a team that is in the dark ages and help shape it and start to show it the light, even get the team to the playoffs. However, that is the end of the road there. 

Dusty took the Cubs, Reds and even Nationals from the bottom to the playoffs but could never out manage other coaches when it mattered the most. 
Marvin came to a franchise that was a disaster and managed to salvage the team and show it the light, even got them to the playoffs and being respectable, but when it matters the most or there is good coaches on the other side, he crumbles.

Dusty always seems to struggle against that one major rival. No matter how good the Reds were, they were always the Cardinals little brother.
Marvin can not find a way to beat the steelers, no matter how much talent the team seems to have.

I could see Marvin leaving and even going to a team like Tampa, or Chicago or some other team in a year of two and doing the exact same thing. Getting them to the playoffs, but not being able to get a playoff win or pushing forward.
