So Marvin Lewis's contract is up in Cincy.......there are questions around weather the team wants him back and weather Marvin wants to go back. Marvin wants an indoor practice facility (the fact that he does not have one already is a joke, they are the only Northern team to not have one.....UC down the road has one.....yet the Bengals do not, nuff said) and increases to the scouting staff.
Lewis has managed to make the Bengals average, but let's face it, in any other city with his record he would have been likely fired by now. However in Cincy with Mike Brown as your owner, average is a hell of an accomplishment.
That said, if this team is going to get better, they need new leadership I think. Marvin's act with the team has gone stale and I am not sure he can get the spark that is needed to change this team again. But it sounds like a decision will be announced by Tuesday so we should not be waiting long. My gut says they look in another direction and hire Mike Zimmer as the new head coach.
If Marvin is gone, where does he go? Anyone going to give him another HC job right away? DC somewhere?
