Marvin Lewis Extension Still Leaves A Bad Taste In My Mouth

I'm torn by it as well. When I see games like either Indy game or the Thursday night Cleveland game, I just want to fire ML myself.

But then I also see how the team has improved since he's arrived. Mikey B should count his blessings that ML actually said yes to coaching the Bengals cause frankly this could still be like the 90's and oh my god was that ugly.

ML has a better roster and he has a 13 years head start on Zimmer as a head coach. Zimmer will win a playoff game before his 13th year as head coach.
