Thoughts from Brennan
#16
Lol Merv has been HC of the Bengals for 15 of their 50 seasons. 30% of their entire existence. So of course he owns some records (good and bad) due to his incredible longevity. For best head coach, I'd have to go with these coaches over Marv:

Forrest Gregg - Only coached 4 seasons, but posted a .561 win %, 2 division titles, 2 playoff wins and narrowly lost a SB.

Sam Wyche - His regular season track record was Marvin-esque, but when he got to the playoffs, he actually did something, winning games in both appearances and nearly winning a title. He was an innovator (Marvin isn't) and had more charisma than Marv could ever dream of having.

Paul Brown - He was essentially Marvin Lewis (as a Bengals coach). Record right around .500 and 0-3 in the playoffs (he coached half as many seasons). I give Paul the edge because he did this with an expansion team in a division with the Steelers when they were in the middle of a dynasty.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
