So...where are all the interviews for Marvin Lewis?

If the Buccaneers used this logic, Tony Dungy would've never left. They were terrible before him, but couldn't take the next step in the playoffs with him. 

The Rams had a horrific 12 year stretch before McVay. So if McVay goes .500 for the next 14 years, should LA build him a statue? What about Jim Mora and the Saints? Should they look back at him like he was a hero? 

If we go on to hire Bieniemy and he does plenty of good, do we credit Marv for Bieniemy's success, or do we consider that maybe some of these crafted narratives about Marv may not be 100% true? That he wasn't the only person on the planet capable of having success in Cincy.

Because they don't have anything else to use as a crutch.
