The problem is, will it matter?
If we don't make the playoffs, there's a segment of the fans that say that's enough to warrant cutting ties. Some (and I fall in this group) want him gone regardless of making the playoffs (although I'd shut up if he got us as close as the AFC championship game). And some want him gone regardless of how much more he wins. But there are also those who don't mind the coach for life approach.
Mike Brown is likely among that last group as year after year he's waved at talented guys leaving his team — a team each helped make successful — to go be head coaches elsewhere. If he's not willing to move on from Lewis for a Zimmer or a Hue, I don't see what a playoff loss is going to matter, unless that was part of some deal with Marvin (and I don't think it was).
