In the end I presented a brilliant defense. The comparison of Wyche and Lewis was awesome. Both 8 years, identical records, identical number of years in the playoffs. I argued that in Wyche's first go, he simply had the advantage of not having his qb tear up his knee on his first postseason pass. And I showed what a disastrous result came from firing Wyche for the next 11 years for the franchise. I showed the mediocrity of coaches Wyche and Lewis was far, far better than what happened for 11 straight years in between. The Bengals did not get better when they fired Wyche...in fact they got much worse, until yes, when they hired Marvin Lewis.

Nothing I showed or argued was in fact incorrect by any definition. Pure lucidity can be tough to handle on here for many. Of course, they could hire a genius by firing Lewis like a Josh McDaniels or Rex Ryan, Or Steve Spurrier, or Todd Haley, or Bobby Petrino, yeah, all genius' at the time of the hiring. I still say, you're at the very best in a 50-50 crap shoot by firing Marvin rather than knowing what you have.

Under the veneer of what the Cincinnati Bengal organization is, that is 9 playoff appearances in 43 years of existence, marvin Lewis was one of the top 4 coaches in that team's history. Trailing only Paul Brown, Forrest Gregg, and arguably Sam Wyche.

Laugh at me if you must. I'm right and you all know it.
