CINCINNATI -- It was long past time for a change.
The Cincinnati Bengals fired head coach Marvin Lewis on Monday, ending his 16-year tenure in Cincinnati with a 131-122-3 regular-season record. His 131 win are 15 more than the next two winningest coaches in franchise history combined (Sam Wyche, 61 and Paul Brown, 55). Although he compiled the most wins in franchise history, he will ultimately be remembered for his 0-7 playoff record.
