Unless you think that Mike Brown is the genius architect of this unprecedented streak of regular season success who has only been denied his rightful playoff victory by the incompetence of Marvin Lewis then firing Marvin Lewis is an idiotic idea.
Whether or not Lewis is the right guy to have on the sideline on game day I believe that he's had a lot to do with the coaching personnel decisions that have helped bring the streak of winning seasons that we've seen during this decade. Our best hope of coaching changes that will lead to improvement and not a new decade of losing is if Lewis is allowed to leave on his terms and play a role in picking a successor.
Otherwise you're much more likely to see "Bengals Head Coach Paul Alexander" than whoever you're imagining is going to be able to get the spot and fix the problems.
Did anyone think Mike Brown was going to outlive Fidel Castro? Well, the impossible happened. At least he hasn't jailed and tortured his critics. That's about the best we can say, eh? Never fear ..Maximum Leader will save us from a repeat of the 90s.
