Marvin Lewis

[Wildcard]

Why the fuck are they keeping Marvin Lewis? If they keep Carson Palmer too I'm just going to start feeling really bad for Bengals fans.

the real question is why is marvin lewis keeping the bungles...

Reports earlier in the week said he was giving them an ultimatum of sorts to put some money into improving their training grounds and things like that, or he'd resign.

If that was true, guess we know who got their way.

The entire Marvin Lewis situation is the most baffling head coaching situation in the history of the league.

The man is a terrible coach. He is entering his 9th season, and has two winning seasons and two playoff appearances. He has never won a playoff game.

Supposedly a great defensive mind, in eight seasons, the Bengals have finished in the bottom half of the league in points allowed seven times, and five of those times in the bottom ten.

His teams are constantly filled with criminals, showboats, and low character bums that nobody else wants (which explains all of the losing).

How THE FUCK does this guy keep his job year after year? He's completely incompetent. And yet, he is the one making demands! Unreal.

The Brian Billick of defense.

Coached a record setting D a decade ago, and is still somehow keeping his job and reputation as a "Defensive Genius" even though the success he has had as a head coach came when Carson Palmer was throwing for 30 TDs and 4000 yards.

That's the part that confuses me.....who is Lewis and what has he done to make demands?

[Blade]

From what I have read....a lot of the nitwits playing for the Bengals weren't Lewis' first choices. Mike Brown keeps bringing in players like Pacman Jones and forces Lewis to play these guys.

So my guess is Lewis had some kinda card to play in the negotiations against Mike Brown and he played it.

The thing that cracks me up is everyone saying he hasn't done shit since the Baltimore D. But that defense had a pissed off Ray lewis who had just dodged a murder rap, Chris McCallister in his prime, Rod Woodson and a monster of a D-Line that you couldn't run on because Siragusa took up like half the field.

I don't think any of the Bengals defensive players have compared to those players in the last decade.

So maybe he's not an overrated coach, but a poor judge of talent in the draft and free agency. Who knows?

I felt pretty confident when I did that, that no one else would post at 11:05pm......as I don't believe too many people stranded in the Atlantic Ocean would be worrying about posting in a thread on VSN about Marvin Lewis.
