He does want to win...as long as it's his way. "His way" involves way too much loyalty and "steady as she goes" to ever become a serious title contender. When you have some success, but stall out at the same exact spot umpteen times, you should at the very least consider some tweaks to how you do things.

And if you think Marvin Lewis is the sole reason for losses in those playoff games....
It's chain of command. If a company (team) constantly brings in new employees (players) and gets similar disappointing results, you start looking at management (coaches). If you've been through several supervisors, you start looking at the head manager (head coach). If the owner of the company refuses to look at the head manager, you start looking at him.
Ultimately, the disappointment of these teams has to fall on Marvin and ultimately, Mike. 0-7 doesn't happen by some odd twist of bad luck.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
