In 2003, after being named the Bengals new head coach, Marvin Lewis opened up his rookie head coaching season with 3 straight losses to the Broncos (who would finish 10-6), Oakland Raiders (who would finish 4-12), and the Pittsburgh Steelers (who would finish 6-10). The Bengals then won the first game ever in the Marvin Lewis in the 4th game of the season against the Cleveland Browns (who would go on to finish 5-11).
As we all remember, the Bengals ended up going 7-5 for the rest of the season to end up at 8-8. (Note, too, that we were at 8-6 before losing our final 2 games to the Rams and Browns).
Could we, will we see a similar ending here?
Granted, we want Zac to be a better HC than ML, but ML isn't the worst coach ever to end up as.
