In all fairness to Marvin Lewis he took over maybe the worst NFL franchise ever. He turned them around for 7 play-off seasons. If Palmer hadn't been injured in 2005, or Dalton in 2015, who knows. Probably play-off wins.
In all honesty, it's time for Marvin Lewis to go.
The problem is still Mike Brown and Family. Most good head coaches didn't want to come here before Lewis, and will not want to come here now.
Good coaches like an Andy Reid and others demand more team control and Mike Brown just isn't going to do that.
When we had Zimmer and Gruden, Fans saw then that one of them should have moved up to Head Coach. It is too late now.
If Mike Brown hires from within, I would certainly want Lazor over Austin. I like the things Lazor is doing on offense more than Austin on defense.
As to why doesn't Marvin take over the Defense ??? What if this is the Marvin Defense ??? Austin has coached defense on 3 Super Bowl teams. Now at Cincy his D stinks. What if this D has been Marvin Lewis more than Austin ? You can not blame Austin for the awful linebackers and defensive backs before 2018 on team. That said, Lewis and Austin both need to go because it's one or the other or both.
Also on D, Bengals were better with Hall, Nelson, Maualuga, IIoka. They didn't find quality players to replace them, and it shows. Well, as we lose Zimmer coached players, the D gets worse and worse.
