In 1992, IF the Bengals hired 2004 Marvin Lewis instead of Dave Shula...

I believe that Lewis was a better coach than Shula, and feel that he was better equipped to lead players in 2000s than Shula. I think Lewis brought some degree of credibility that spoke to those players - unlike Shula just possessing bloodlines.

But to your question of whether Shula would have succeeded in '04 as did Lewis, I think it would be unfair to assume that he wouldn't.

So essentially the front office improved?

With the Bengals it's really hard to say who's calling the shots. You could be right. Or maybe Marvin told them who to draft? Hard to really say.
