Moot point though as Marvin's signed through next season. We could go 5-11 and they'll keep him.

1. Marvin Lewis was one of the hottest young candidates in the league when we hired him. We also interviewed Coughlin and Denny Green. Two very accomplished coaches.

2. Bill Parcells took a gig working for Jerry Jones. Joe Gibbs worked for Dan Snyder.

In the end there are only 32 of these jobs. We can get a good coach if we want one.

People love to squeal about Mike Browns failures in free agency and other areas until you say that Marvin worked with a handicap and then they area like "Nothing wrong with Mike's free agency at all.  He built a championship team and Marvin screwed it up."

They are both guilty in the court of failure to produce. Mike is guilty of throwing every speed bump possible into building a team. Marvin is guilty of folding up like a pup tent anytime the heat is on in game.

You can spin it around and around and around, come at it from a hundred angles. But in the end they're both guilty.

Supposedly, and this was a rumor...IF Jay Gruden got fired in Washington, he would have been the Bengals HC.

Marvin is not going anywhere. He will coach here until he wants to stop.

If you cant beat em join em.

Marvin being a passive chump ass push over doing nothibg but clapping during the game then being afraid to say anything to the press after. Is probably the main reason i am steady complaining about officiating.
