Lewis' philosophy has always been, start fast and then play old school fundamental football; run the ball, play field position and defense. Unfortunately (kind of a weird thing to say about winning) it's worked enough that it's cemented as his philosophy. Unfortunately again (this time not weird) is that i don't believe he's capable of adjusting and playing any different on a regular basis.
Like you said, there are outliers where they threw the ball and came back in the 2nd half to win games, but not enough to consider him someone that can adjust and coach his team to play any other way than what his philosophy allows.
