Maybe you guys are correct and Marvin really does not want to continue Coaching.
It will be interesting to see what happens.

Quote:"We had clearly spoke of an opportunity for Hue to stay here if he so liked" Lewis said on a conference call with the Cleveland media. "If that's what he chose to do, then eventually he would become the head coach."
Jackson instead chose to become head coach of the Cleveland Browns.
NFL.com first reported the succession story, saying Jackson and Lewis had presented the idea to Bengals owner Mike Brown. The plan had Jackson taking over as Bengals coach in 2018.
