I'm not ready to move on so badly that I want Marvin out yesterday. I only want to move on if there's a plan in place for who will replace him, and only if it is an obvious upgrade. With that said, I'm willing to entertain the notion. I'll always like Marvin Lewis. I'll always respect what he did making this franchise into something competitive. I'm not sure he's the guy to get us over the hump. I think this team is like the early 2000s Detroit Pistons. Rick Carlisle made that team, but he couldn't get them over the hump. Ultimately the Pistons hired Larry Brown, who won the championship with them, and kept them as top contenders for several years. I think we're at the same place, we just need a Larry Brown.
I find much agreement w/ what you've said here. We need someone else to take it from here to get to the next level.
