I don't see either Harbaugh leaving their jobs to come to Cincy and to work under Mike Brown, forget about it.......Coach Lewis took over THE WORST team in the NFL and had play-off seasons over 50 % of the years he has been here. That is a HUGE turnaround considering this was THE WORST team in the NFL before he got here.......BUT THE POINT is he WANT'S MORE. He WANT"S those play-off wins....He WANT"S that Super Bowl....and this thread starts off whining because he is telling the players to play harder to reach these goals. You have to be kidding me. ....YES, THIS TEAM NEEDS TO PLAY BETTER, A LOT BETTER. ....I hope Coach Lewis NEVER stops telling them this.
Kevin, I agree with a lot of what you say here. The Bengals were a disaster before Marvin showed up. He did do an unbelievable job in turning this franchise around and getting it to the point where they are now. He deserves all the credit in the world for that. As I said before, he's been great at putting together rosters and keeping the team competitive.
And of course he wants to win playoff games and lead this team to a Super Bowl. He probably wants that desperately. The problem is that the desire to win in the postseason only goes so far. At some point, you actually have to do it. After 7 opportunities, that have all ended in very disappointing fashion, the reality is that he (and his teams) hasn't gotten the job done when it matters the most.
