Okay, This is Unsettling

Many thought the Bengals were going to move on from Marvin Lewis after that season, but he likely held on for another year because of those two wins. I realize it's not a win against PIT, but it's still end-of-season wins that were meaningless.

I imagine the logic behind keeping Marvin was that the players played so hard even though there was no chance for a postseason, so they must be doing it for the coach.

The ONLY reason that Marvin was fired was because Mike Brown was trying to convince Carson to stay.  Carson even called Marvin to tell him that that wasn't the reason. 

AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT REMEMBERS THAT?!

Mike would have kept Marvin if Palmer hadn't threatened to leave.  As it turns out, Palmer was leaving because Mike had promised him a bunch of things, like a GM, and never followed through.
