The big question is, will Mike Brown open the purse strings? I will be surprised if he does.

Marvin Lewis, with a ittle support/brains from managent imo will do good no matter whre he goes. College or Pro. I wish him well.

I am not saying you are wrong, but what evidence do we have to support this? I think people just think he can succeed as a head coach because he is a nice guy.

I find it ridiculous that Marvin Lewis was offered a contract extension after going 4-12 this year and after 8 years has not won one single playoff game. That tells me all I need to know about the Bengals. As I stated before, he should have resigned when Mike Brown signed Chris Henry when Marvin didn't want to. Mike showed Marvin who the boss was then and how things would be.

 

I agree with Bugatti that Marvin was a decent coordinator, but hasn't showed much as a head coach.

Something on the radio about Marvin having some discussions about a position with 49ers.

Marvin was offered a contract extension earlier. He has not been offered a contract extension this season.

If Marvin is demanding an indoor practice facility and a scouting staff and he hasn't walked yet I hope he gets extended. I think Marvin is terrible, but I hope he gets those things and comes back for a couple years if the alternative is a new coach with no scouts and no indoor practice facility.

I read that Marvin asked to interview them and that he isnt a real candidate for the job at this point. They want an offensive minded guy as HC.

I agree with SSC. I think the Bengals are better off with scouts and Marvin than no scouts and someone else that's automatically set up for failure.

If Marvin's back next year, it's a good thing for Bengal fans. It means Mike Brown gave in to some of his demands.

The longer this plays out the better chances that he comes back IMO.

I was against bringing him back, but now I'm on board with him getting a new deal, assuming it means his demands are met. Also would hope it means Brat is gone as well.

I saw a report that Mike is OK with the indoor facility now due to the season most likely being extended. I hope that is on the very bottom on of Marvin's list as far as demands.

I will just sit on the good side of the river and watch Cincy crumble!

Mike Brown should be ok with it I am sure Hamilton County will flip the bill.

Marvin will remain
