Marvin Lewis misses practice today

What has Marvin done to make him above a mediocre coach? Have a horrible prime time/playoff record? Or is it because he took a crappy team and in 14 years only having 7 of those years above .500 (which 5 of them came when Dalton was the QB)? I don't see anything that Marvin has done that would put him above mediocre.

this is too funny.. all teams have talent.. few teams win without talent especially a good QB .. look at San Francisco, Bears etc.. I could go on and on.. you are just picking and choosing looking at the Bengals in a bias way... 

Compare what Marvin has done as a coach as a whole... so i guess if he had drafted terrible ie not drafted Dalton or Green or Geno or Dunlap or Johnson etc... and not been able to turn this team around that would mean the same for a mediocre coach.. your logic just does not make sense and lack real credible facts.. it is filled with opinion..

Coaches are judged as a whole by looking at hard core stats/facts such as wins/losses, division championships, getting to the post season, winning in post season, changing a losing team to a winning team or the opposite, 

Marvin is in the positive way more than the negative in these hard factual stats... 

A fair debate is where should he fall as a coach.. average to about average coach or a playoff run away from very good coach.. that is a reasonable debate.. but what you are debating is not... im done...
