Not anymore. The game passed him by 2-3 years ago, IMO. The top coaches started to use analytics more, and he was stuck in the past. He's made some really strange comments in press conferences about analytics. It's obvious he doesn't understand them. He also hasn't gotten on board with the new wave of playing players that can make plays, and not worrying as much about mistakes. You see other teams playing young guys that can make game breaking plays. He keeps those guys on the bench because he "doesn't trust them" or because "they don't know the playbook". It's why you get guys like Hardy Nickerson playing 99% of the LB snaps with their mid-round draft picks never seeing the field. he's also ridiculously conservative. Would prefer to punt from the opponents 35 on 4th and 1 in most situations. if he ever coaches again, he has some serious adjustments to make to keep up with modern coaching. But he's an old dog, and i don't think he can learn those new tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you were Pittsburgh or Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think he'd be any good at that at this point in time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think he'd be any good at that at this point in time? i think he could do it, but he's going to run into some of the same problems that i mentioned. The NFL is doing things much differently now than even 3 years ago. He's not kept up with any of it. Plus, i can't imagine him playing 2nd fiddle to anyone after 16 years coaching. Honestly i think his next logical move is as a front office exec. I think he'd do well at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superman(DH23) Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Just do everyone is aware, Lewis gets a spot on the ring of honor and statue in front of the stadium, that place was an absolute joke before he walked in the door and instantly made them a playoff contender. When Lewis took over, they had the #1 pick in the draft, and it wasnt even a question what the worst Franchise in the NFL was. He was criticized for taking the job, as a hot DC name, a minority (before the Rooney rule) people were worried that he would fail, not due to his own fault, but bc of the ineptness of the team from the owner on down. Cincinatti is respectable again, and yeah they havent won a playoff game, they also havent had the #1 pick for 16 years. There is a reason why Mike Brown loves Marvin Lewis.
