look at what your life has become. you have to go back 12 years to his days as a defensive coordinator to make your argument for marvin lewis as a great coach. but ask yourself, if he's such a great coach, why has he been completely unable to duplicate the ravens' defensive dominance or come close to it in a decade as head coach? if he's so responsible for the ravens' dominance in 2000, why did the ravens defense continue being consistently great for years after he left? he's had plenty of time to build up his own roster in cincinnati and install the defense he wants. why are the bengals consistently in the bottom half of NFL defenses if marvin lewis is such a defensive genius? if marvin lewis is so responsible for the ravens super bowl run 12 years ago, why haven't the bengals won a single playoff game during his tenure?

and why have you still not answered why we should all appreciate a coach who has a losing career record and ZERO playoff wins in a decade of coaching? because you can't. no one can. the only reason he's even still employed is because the bengals are a joke of a franchise. anywhere else, he would've been fired. but people who know nothing about football-- such as yourself-- look at a guy who's been coaching for a decade and assume it must be because he's a great coach. so any year the bengals do anything at all, you morons try to throw marvin lewis a ticker tape parade and lobby for him as coach of the year. no. he's mediocre. he's been mediocre, at best, for a decade.

losing record. zero first-round byes. zero playoff wins. in a decade. in conclusion, you're an idiot.
