Let's just all hope all of us who wanted him gone are happy after 2018 season. 

I doubt Marv gets fired with a year left on his deal and new coaches he just hired. I think we're in for 20 years of Marv, at least.

It's been so long since this became ridiculous, that sometimes I have to remind myself how ridiculous it is that Marv is still here. You almost become numb to it.

I'll just hope that by some miracle Marv figures out how to make the playoffs (half the time) AND win a playoff game. He's not going anywhere.

You put Tom Coughlin in his place, and I think he accomplishes at least the same with more playoff wins. For several years, we had enough talent and Merv just couldn't get these guys up for a playoff game. It's ridiculous. This post is just mental gymnastics to make yourself feel better about Merv still being here. That's not me trying to knock you at all, I just think people get to a point where they want to find reasons to be positive. 

"It could be worse" is a terrible reason to be positive.

Fwiw, as good as I feel about this offseason, I don't think it was true "change" so much as a reboot 3.0 (sans the QB trade demand). Mike does these reboots because he'd rather do that than fire Marvin Lewis, who is basically family to him now.
