Lost 10 straight games in 2010, and was 2 years removed from another 4 win season. If he got an extension after that, imagine what he's going to get after 5 straight playoff appearances. Dude has a lifetime contract. The 1 year deals are probably to dupe the public into thinking there's some kind of "pressure" on Marvin, but it's obvious there is no such thing.
No accountability for the GM, no accountability for the HC, no accountability for position coaches (Sir Elton isn't going anywhere, even after this debacle), etc. That's the #1 problem with this franchise. There's never any accountability anywhere. Teams like the Pats and Steelers expect excellence, the Bengals (Mike Brown) expect to be "competitive...sometimes, and if not that's ok too".
What's funny is all the shit Bengal fans gave Carson Palmer shit for wanting out and being in a place that wants to win a Super Bowl. Imagine the frustration a player on the team who has spent his entire life to be the best player he can be and then put in a position knowing the owner wants to be competitive and not doing everything it takes to be the best of the best?
Marvin Lewis teams have NEVER been the best of the best... even in the very good years when playing against the best of the best his team failed miserably(aka playoffs, etc)
Last weekends game was a typical Marvin Lewis team. The best part was during his post game interview he said repeatedly "We did a lot of good things" Really? Really? You play a game like that (if you can even call it that) and then have the balls to say "We did a lot of good things" ....yeah you can say that, but only in Cincinnati.
