That was hilarious. I dont like Steven Smith but cant say it aint true, but after the 90's and going from drafting the likes of Akili and Klingler to drafting Carson and Dalton, Mike Brown is afraid to potentially go back to the Dave Shula years. He wouldnt know a good coach if he was raised by one. He got lucky on Marvin being a little above average.

I don’t know about you, but I would love to sit down and have a beer or two with Stephen A. Smith. He’s funny, he’s smart, he speaks his mind, and I admire that in any man who can do this whether I agree with him or not.
Right now I am not sure Stephen understands the dire straits in which we find the Cincinnati Bengals defense. It’s not just bad. It’s historically bad. However, on staff is already the coordinator who made a defense historically good, Marvin Lewis. Like it or not, Marvin is a known quantity in the world of defense. He runs a high pressure 4-3 with an aggressive secondary. I’m all for bringing in a new defensive coordinator for next season but right now we need somebody who knows the players as well as Marvin Lewis does. Look, I feel for Marvin. He’s almost in a no-win situation. By making this move, Mike Brown has basically put Marvin on notice that the defense, indeed, the entire team is now totally his and his future depends on whether the Cincinnati Bengals sink or swim. Merely performing better than the defense Teryl Austin put on the field is not good enough either. Basically, Marvin has six short days to change the defensive culture in Cincinnati. ![[Image: 4CV0TeR.png]](https://i.imgur.com/4CV0TeR.png)

I don't hate on ESPN like some people here, but Stephen A. Smith is unwatchable for me. He is absolutely the worst type of sports commentator around. He does not care if he is right or wrong. He just makes as much noise as possible. And this has nothing to do with his position on Marvin Lewis. There are plenty of commentators who rip Lewis that I can still listen to.

The last shred of sympathy I had for Marven went out the window in the early hours of January 10, 2016. He kept prattling on at the presser about how ultimate responsibility for this team rests with him. If he really felt that way, and if he could step back and take an honest look at this shit-show, he'd type up his resignation and drop it on Scrooge McCkryptkeeper's desk on the way out the door.

So basically you don't respect any NFL head coach, right?

Despite being handicapped by working for the worst owner in sports Marvin Lewis has beaten other NFL coaches more often than they have beaten him. He definitely does not "suck ass".

The other coaches get held accountable (fired). Saying responsibility ultimately rests with them isn't a resignation, it's an understanding they're about to be fired. Except Marvin.

Wait....Maybe Mr. Smith is on to something here. Maybe it's Mikey's master plan to break down Marvin to the point where he's too embarrassed to collect his pay check. Getting a head coach for free. Genius!

Very few coaches get fired after a last second playoff loss with his back up QB starting. I realize people around here are upset, but that is no excuse to just say batshit crazy stuff. In January of 2016 Marvin was coach of a very talented team. NO OTHER coach in the NFL would have quit at that point. Don't you realize how stupid that claim sounds?

I understand you don't like Marvin, but that does not mean you can just spew something crazy and act like it is a legitimate opinion.

Let me amend. SAS always sucks ass. Marvin does not always suck ass, just at certain times, like after byes, against the Steelers, on Sunday nights and playoff games.
