NFL Coaching Changes: Who Should, Who Should Go

[horseofcourse]

I argue because I take the time to provide facts which are sorely missing on these boards for the most part. Marvin by any honest estimation improved the Cincinnati Bengals in his time with the team from what they were before he came. Go suck on it ateam.

So, once again, because the team is historically bad, he should keep the job ad infinitum despite zero playoff wins in eight years and just an awful coaching job this year. Mediocrity isn't better than suckiness in the NFL. At least suckiness gets you a high draft pick.

HiS coaching job last year was tremendous with a largely untalented team for the most part. I can't name their defensive line, I can't name any defensive back on their team off the top of my head. I can name their two overaged psycho wide receivers however, and yeah he is largely at fault for the failures of the team as he is head coach. Once Sam Wyche left the team has stunk. In his 8 years as coach the team was at least relevant at times which they never were the 12 years prior. The great Jets even had to play them in the playoffs last year. That's how good they were!! I'm not simply convinced how bad a coach he really is. I'm simply not as simple a person as you are either. I didn't become a Miami Heat fan after all!!!!

You're an idiot if you can't name any of their DBs. Hall and Joseph are one of the best CB tandems in the league. Odom's a beast when healthy on the DL and Peko's good too. Their roster was way better than 4-11 this year and some of the losses they've had are totally inexcusable.

I can name Revis however!! How big an idiot can I be? (wait, don't answer that!) I can name Haden and Brown too as I am a Browns fan!!

Maybe not every human being on the planet is worth standing up for and defending, but I think Marvin Lewis deserves defense is all. He was far, far from a coaching disaster there in Cincinnati. Of course, I am also in the camp of keeping Mangini for another year at least. I'm not convinced he is a terrible coach either yet.

Wilford Brimley stand-in Holmgren will be the Browns coach next year.

Mangini's done a far better coaching job this season than Lewis has. The other problem with Lewis is that not only has he not won a playoff game, his performance is getting worse as his tenure progresses. After going 42-38 his first five years, he's 18-28-1 his last three. And those unbelievable losses against Tampa and New Orleans are on him. Just because he made the Bengals mediocre for a few years rather than terrible doesn't mean he gets the job forever.

So yeah, as a Bengal season ticket holder, I would much prefer those 8 years with Marvin than the 12 prior from 1991 to 2002 by a large, large margin in fact.

So how long does he get to keep underachieving and going 8-8 and winning zero playoff games? 5 more years? 10? Sh it, just make him coach-for-life and get it over with. YOU DON'T GET IT, THE BENGALS NEVER USED TO GET IN THE PLAYOFFS AND LOSE IN THE FIRST ROUND EVERY 4 YEARS!!!

I think Les Miles would look good filling any of these available positions.
