BREAKING: Marvin leaving at the end of the season; team caught off guard

I just got home from Mass and heard the news! Who says prayer doesn't work?

Seriously, I have lots of respect for Marvin Lewis and he had an excellent run here in Cincinnati. He turned the worst franchise in all of professional sports into a consistent playoff competitor in the most competitive division in football and that wasn't easy at all. He'll leave Cincinnati better than he found it and that is the highest compliment I can give.

The slam against Mike Brown not paying his assistant coaches and coordinators is probably true and I'm glad Marvin made this issue public. There's no salary cap for coaches and in the NFL you get what you pay for.

My only request to Mr. Brown would be to let the next Bengal head coach hire his coordinators and position coaches. I'm talking about a total housecleaning of all the coaches, especially the Piano Man.
