Ok so seeing as Marvin will be the coach for the next 88 years im going to try and make a list of good things he does.
1. Marvin Lewis seems to always coach up good run defense schemes. We have bad games against the run just like any team but if I were to put his whole 15-year on one plane I have to say I always remember us having good d line play against the run no matter what coordinator we have. I don't have stats and im not really gonna use stats for this post so if you have stats please add them.
2. Our special teams(Not kickers, they've all pretty much sucked) for the most part doesn't fumble or give up huge returns consistently. See it is possible to compliment Lewis
3. Marvin Lewis doesn't play young guys just to play. He puts the best team on the field no matter what. I know some of you hate this about him but im the type of guy who would rather play a Leon Hall over a Dre Kirkpatrick until Kirkpatrick CONVINCINGLY takes the spot from Hall.
4. Marvin Lewis up until recently could field a good turnover defense no matter who he had. We used to be a high turnover team but as players changed we changed into a team that tries to only allow FGs. Then as time went on we just suck on D now. So this may actually be a bad thing about Marvin. When he has good players he can coach up a league leading defense. But when he doesn't have the star level play from individuals on D hes not good enough to create a gameplan that will make those guys look good. I don't want to shit on him for that but we see it enough in sports how coaches create gameplans that make average teams compete against elite teams and Marvin has NEVER done that. every year weve done really good its been because weve had ALOT of talent. I cant say Marvin has ever OVERACHIEVED with a roster. Hes HEAVILY UNDERACHIEVED at least 3 times(Texans and Jets playoff games, we were the favorites), and has basically underachieved his whole career. And that isn't good.
5. Back to the good. Hes as loyal as they come to his players. In 15 years he hasn't thrown a guy under the bus once or put any heat on a guy for his off the field antics. Now PERSONALLY I wish hed fire in people asses about off the field stuff and maybe he does, but for certain guys I think it needs to be public.
That's all I got guys. 4 good things. I would make a bad list but that list would be stupid long and I don't feel like it. Hes our coach and we gotta deal with it.
