Can't disagree more. Coaches who lose locker rooms/respect from players don't consistently churn out seasons that the Bengals have over the past five years. Inevitably, they will stop listening and ultimately stop playing. To his credit actually, that hasn't happened here which is unique giving Lewis' longevity in one place.
Chip Kelly is an example of guy who lost his team. Eagles were thought of as a Super Bowl team this year but the players simply weren't buying the message and the season went south quickly.
I'm 50/50 on Lewis and can understand the calls for his ouster. But to suggest that he doesn't have respect from his players is simply not stating telling the truth.
Can't have it both ways. You want player like Burfict and Jones, you have to understand the highs and lows of having them.
