Marvin has taken this team from one of the worst in the league to one that can't win in the playoffs. Any mediocre coach can do that if they had the time Marvin has had. A good coach would have at least have a playoff win. How does that not make sense or lack "credible facts"?
Marvin Lewis has a sub .500 record without Dalton. Lewis has only won 4 division championships in 14 years. Lewis been out coached 7 times in the playoffs. Lewis changed a losing team into a team that other teams LOVE to play in the playoffs, because they consider it a free win.
Just because Lewis raised the bar from horrible to mediocre doesn't make him a good coach. It makes him by definition a mediocre coach.
When Marvin started coaching during the Carson Palmer years, Mike Brown was still interfering with the team in negative way. Remember the billboards telling Mike Brown to hire a GM?
It wasn’t until the end of the Carson Palmer era that Mike Brown started to fully trust Marvin and the football people to run the team.
