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.

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.

What's the magic number ateam? How long do you give a coach. What if the Jets lost their first playoff game this year, do you fire Rex Ryan? He had two years and couldnt' get to the Super Bowl, so what good is he?? Is it 4 years? 6 years? 3 years? What is your magic forumla for how long a coach should have?

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.
