    It's not inexplicable, it's based on the facts of the stats. What is inexplicable is how you can claim a winning record that includes seven out of fifteen winning seasons and five straight playoff appearances is mediocrity.

    Can you name another coach who would keep his job after going ten years without a playoff win, let alone twenty five?

    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.

    He has never coached a team which won a playoff game. What other coach would have been given more than five or seven years of leading this mediocrity? You can't name one or you would.


    Everyone who follows the NFL is puzzled as to why he wasn't fired years ago.

    He said that he's not retiring. If the Bengals retain him as head coach they will continue to be mediocre.

    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

    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?
