With that said, he should have been let go after last season and promote Guenther. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hue leaving Cleveland before the new GM fires him to take over as the new Bengals coach would be classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAF-N72EX Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 This was LOOOOOONG overdue. Although they should've waited until next Sunday before the home game to announce this. I would've loved to see the crowd reaction as soon as he came onto the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd also be good for a team that needs to become competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I'm sure as Bengals fans it's good too see him go now, but when he arrived he helped completely turn that Bengals team around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerman Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Marvin Lewis has the third highest win percentage in Bengals history, with far more games coached than anybody, and he coached his team to the playoffs more than any other Bengals coach. Has had a .500 or better record 2/3rd's of his tenure. Has the most wins in franchise history by a giant margin. 4 of the last 6 years had double digit winning seasons. I don't know that its's really his fault that over his tenure he coached in a division where the Steelers went to 3 and won 2 Super Bowls and the Ravens went to one and had been in at least 2 AFCCG's. He gets a bad rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part Lewis' flaw was his inability to win playoff games, but a big part of that was that he ran into the Steelers during a Super Bowl year, ran into a hot Jets team that had the best defense in football, ran into a hot Texans team twice in the early 2000's, and ran into the Colts during Luck's best year. His big failures were the loss to the Chargers and the implosion in 2015 when he SHOULD have beaten the Steelers. Aside from those two, I wouldn't really give him too much flack for the rest of his playoff issues, it was a lot of wrong place, wrong time, against the wrong person.
