Rc2catch Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I like this guy as a coach. They may not have won meaningful games, but constantly in the playoff hunt during his time. He has always been smart about his hiring of assistants and gotten the most out of the talent they have had. Mostly mid level kinda players but he’s gotten the most out of them. Most of his assistants are head coaches now. I’d be interested to see what team/role he ends up with depending what his next steps for his career are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatty is alive Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 About time, the epitome of mediocrity. Why he lasted as long as he did, especially with some of the discipline issues on that time is beyond me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 This is great for Bengals fans but unfortunately, while it was clearly time to move on from Marvin Lewis, a good head coach will not want to work for Mike Brown. They'll have to roll the dice on someone who is not a hot commodity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 It was time. Lewis needs to move to the front office in a player development role. I think what Lewis does best is mentor young men into growing up and developing skills needed to be professionals. With all the risky players the Bengals bring in they don’t seem to have anymore off field issues than the average team. I think Lewis deserves a lot of the credit for this.

At that time both were hot commodity. In fact we chose the wrong guy among Greg, Marvin and John Fox. Both Fox and Lewis have had long tenure as Head Coach whereas GW never got that chance again. 1 hour ago, Doc said: They were only in the playoff hunt after Dalton arrived. That is Bull.. They have been in the hunt since Palmer was drafted. They would have won that game against the Steelers (In Cincinnati) if Palmer did not blow out his knee before half time.

One of them was part time. It was John Cooper (former OSU coach). Hes now a “consultant”. They used online scouting reports to help them draft. They have beefed it up a little but still one of the smallest Scouting departments in the league because mike brown is cheap.

He isn’t under contract for next year, so can’t really be “fired” just non-renewed. He knows he’s done so just announcing it before they do. I don’t know what kind of contracts his assistants have, but typically they are the same as the HC since he brought them all in.

Yeah Mike Brown has been giving him 1year deals for awhile now because he’s always on the verge of getting fired. It’s hilarious how cheap he is. They try to say Marvin wants it that way but I don’t believe them. Now he faces a HC market where 5 year deals for HCs with no experience are the norm. Save your pennies Mike.
