Not a stat, but told everyone Sam Wyche resigned when the reality was, he fired him. This was his first act as "GM".
7 winning seasons in 26 years
Roughly a .418 winning % (actually dramatically improved under Merv, or it's probably in the 30s, Merv has a .543 %)
In 2008, the Bengals set a record for the most games needed under one specific owner to attain 100 wins (288).
In 2010, the team set a record for the fewest games needed to lose 200 (both considering and not considering playoffs) under one specific owner (314).
It is the only team with three nine-game-or-more losing streaks during his tenure.
Also holds six of the twenty-five 0-6 starts (24%)
Four of the thirteen 0-8 starts (31%)
Bengals have gone winless in October nine different times in twenty-two years under five different head coaches
0-7 in playoffs
The second lowest winning % in a decade in all of professional sports history. (were #1 until Detroit went 0-16 in their abyss)
