Lewis has only been the Bengals coach for fifteen seasons, not twenty-five. But yes any coach would remain employed for quite some time if they were a consistent winner that kept their team in the mix as Lewis has done. Seven of fifteen winning seasons including five straight playoff appearances is consistent success that plenty of teams would kill for right now.

Here you go. At least two more years of mediocrity for the Bengals. That owner must really dislike Bengals fans.
Marvin Lewis stays with Bengals on two-year contract
Marvin Lewis HC stats:
15 seasons, 125-112-3 record overall, .527 winning percentage
5 seasons below .500
10 seasons .500 or above
7 playoff seasons, inc. 5 straight

And zero playoff wins. His record is one of futility and mediocrity. Bengals fans are accustomed to it.
Not one other coach would keep his job after compiling such a miserable playoff history. Why are you so zealously defending this guy?
He can't blame a lack of talent either.

I don't know why didn't see this earlier, but it just dawned on me why you are defending him. You're either a steelers, Browns or Ravens fan and keeping Lewis in Cincinnati is good for them.
Why else would you want a team to keep a coach who has more losing seasons than winning ones?
