Marvin Lewis Countdown

[guyofthetiger]

Lets start counting the days until Marvin Lewis is gone. I say it will be Tuesday morning. So 2 more days. What is your guess?

Needs to be soon, as there will be a LOT of coaching vacancies this year....

And I know it is not the point of this thread, but I am still holding out hope for Hue Jackson. I don't care what his record was in Cleveland after they traded away all their talent for picks, and he basically has had one year with a ton of rookies. I think he was meant to be our coach. And one thing you have to agree on: despite being overmatched talent-wise...his team fights. This team has no fight.

Marvin’s fate was decided after the last playoff game against the Steelers. I think he’ll know what that fate is by January 9, 2018 which is the two year anniversary of the debacle against Pittsburgh, a game the Bengals had won until the last minute.

Hopefully around 8:30 PM EST tonight, at his post game press conference.

The search for the next head coach can then officially begin tomorrow morning

Hue had a deal in place to be the next head coach here. He chose to go to Cleveland instead, and I can tell you that ownership was pissed about it too. That ship has sailed, and I highly doubt Hue will be the next coach here. This team needs a re-boot with someone that has no ties to the organization.

Hue is staying in Cleveland. Jay is staying in DC. They are not coming here..... and I think they announce Monday that they are not extending Lewis.

He did not have a contract here, he was offered a ridiculous one in Cleveland.  The Brown family are shrewd business people, you have to give them that, and they would completely understand.  It was their fault they didn't have a contract on him.  You can't keep people on promises.  Paper talks, the rest walks to Cleveland...

And I wasn't predicting it would happen.  I was saying that is what I would like to see happen...

We won’t know until all the other vacancies are filled, just like free agency. I don’t expect Brown to bring anyone new in, as frustrating as that is considering how many outside coaches will be available. I expect Simmons or Geunther to be the next coach. It will probably be more of the same, with Piano Man still coaching the o line.

I hope I’m wrong, but I’m a jaded Bengals fan.

Now this sounds promising.

[PDub80]

I predict that he comes back.

His contract expires at the end of the season. Does that mean when the Bengals season ends after today or after the Super Bowl? I thought read somewhere that his contract will expire tonight at midnight, along with pretty much the rest of the staff.

Fire him at 4:15 and pay out the remaining 7 hrs 45 minutes of his contract.

It will be announced that he's not being extended at noon on Monday...

His contract is up, no firing required. The team will announce that they've decided to pursue a new coach within the next few days.
