But the question remains, if Marvin Lewis is to go, then who is going to be the guy we are certain is going to do a better job? To make a change for the sake of change isn't going to work. You have to change to "something else" and that something else needs to be an improvement, otherwise it's just a step back one is inflicting on oneself.
Here's the thing about only being able to replace Marvin with a better/proven coach...there are no guarantees. You could hire a guy like Sean Payton or Tom Coughlin, and they may never get you back to the playoffs. You could hire a coordinator that's never been a HC, and he may take you to the SB. There's just no way of knowing. I do have faith that a committee of Mike, Katie, Troy and maybe Duke could land a solid replacement. After all, Mike and Katie did give us Marvin. But again, there are no guarantees, and if that's the determining factor for replacing Marvin...then Marvin is never leaving.
