January 4, 201115 yr 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 would say that's part of the package that Marvin in wanting; to get rid of Brat.
January 4, 201115 yr Marvin's record is 60-66-1 in eight season. For any other organization I would say that is terrible BUT given the circumstances of who Marvin has to answer to (Mikey) how could one not say that was better than expected? I'm a Bengals fan and want to see a consistent winner BUT every Bengals fan knows with Mike Brown making the decisions and stroking the checks thats a tough challenge. Marvin has done a good job and if he gets what he wants I expect success soon. Looking at who we play next year I can see an 11 win season. I have my fingers crossed that Mike Brown will swallow his pride and do the right thing. TRUST MARVIN !
January 4, 201115 yr If hiring Marvin means no more Bratkowski, I can't see who would be against him staying.
January 4, 201115 yr Any way Brian Billick takes an O-Coord position anywhere in the NFL? I'd be shocked to see him come back as anything but a head coach.

It's another case where we do not compare the Bengals to the rest of the league, but to the organization itself. And in that comparison, Marvin is the best coach this team had had for a long time.
January 4, 201115 yr I'd be shocked to see him come back as anything but a head coach. Me too. I think former SB champoion head coach means you don't take any other role than head coach or GM.
January 4, 201115 yr Me too. I think former SB champoion head coach means you don't take any other role than head coach or GM. ..especially when you've got a nice comfy talking head gig.
January 4, 201115 yr They are saying on the radio that Marvin is coming back and things should be worked out in 24 hrs. :scared:
January 4, 201115 yr WillAnderson79 Bengals and Marvin Lewis have met Twice! Still no Deal on table! Only He and The Bengals Family know what's going on!
January 4, 201115 yr http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5987400 The Bengals expect coach Marvin Lewis now will remain in Cincinnati, a team source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The two sides expect to resolve any issues within the next 24 hours. On Monday, Lewis told owner Mike Brown what needs to change for him to consider staying in Cincinnati, where he's had two winning records in eight seasons. The Bengals completed their worst season under Lewis, finishing 4-12 with a loss in Baltimore on Sunday. Lewis: Marriage of Convenience Walker In the end, neither the Bengals nor Marvin Lewis can do better, and that's the reason both parties are expected to extend their sometimes tenuous marriage, James Walker writes. Blog Neither Lewis nor Brown would discuss their meeting. Brown said through a team spokesman that a resolution could come as soon as Tuesday. Lewis wants changes in how the organization operates, including more control over roster decisions. He also has lobbied years for a covered practice field -- the Bengals are the only northern NFL team without one. Lewis turned down an extension last season, saying their differences had to be resolved before he would agree to stay.
January 4, 201115 yr AdamSchefter Lewis left the Bengals complex when the two sides could not agree on franchise's direction and his future there is in serious jeopardy.
