TheVillain112 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Don't roll your eyes at me @theJ. If you're wondering why I created this thread now, this is why: I've always suspected that Marvin Lewis was the man behind a lot of our WTF playing time decisions, and now we have proof...

Johnny Nix Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I already assumed that. But it wouldn’t surprise me if Mike Brown wasn’t really behind the playing time telling Marvin what he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Ha, I just listed a bunch of reasons in the NFL Gen forum about how Marvin is one of the bottom coaches in the league. Terrible Clock Management Terrible motivator Little to no control over the players Constantly loses replay challenges Refuses to make halftime adjustments Apparently I needed to add Stubbornly loyal to declining veterans Boneheaded playing time decisions Slow to let young talent play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJ Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 They're not going to fire him. ...but, i have a pretty strong feeling they aren't re-signing him barring a deep playoff run this year. Also, pretty dumb if Marvin is the reason Jeremy Hill is still playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that a performance that is typical post bye and typical against the Steelers gives no reason to move on that we didn't already have. I also put him third in line of things that need to change after Paul Alexander and starting center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope Hue is available when that time comes this offseason, because i'm not sure there's a good HC on the staff already. I don't really want a complete blow up of the team. There's talent, just not in a few key areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think he does it to keep Hill mildly focused in games. Like, if he doesn't play, he will sulk, and if you need him, he can't contribute anything. marvin still thinks like an old school coach. But the truth is he isn't contributing much anyway, so who cares if he sulks or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 At this point I don’t want Hue anymore. I want someone completely new that comes from a winning program, be that NFL or college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin came from a winning program. Doesn't always mean everything. Of course, neither does being an amazing coordinator... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hue has been clevelandized..he coaches a lot like ole marv now.. plays the wrong players, bad challenges, no adjustments...sound familiar.. I wouldn't mind him back as the OC with our new coach probably just rather they clean house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Read Hobson’s choice this week at bengals.com, someone asked Hobson why him and all the local beat writers always defend everything and fluff all the players/moves. He basically said he feels like he’s hard on the organization and asks the tough questions. I justed laughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hue is definitely part of the problem. I love Hue but he's doing a terrible job in a terrible situation: He should not have named Kizer as the starting QB week 1. Kizer was young and immature, which everyone knew. Hue still named him the starter week 1. When Kizer flamed out as everyone expected, he benches him. Then he benches his replacement (Hogan) and goes back to Kizer. Then he benches Kizer again for Kesseler. Then he names Kizer the starter again. Pretty much has done as bad a job as possible managing the QBs in Cleveland, which is shocking with his background. Hue just doesn't seem built to be a good HC...
