Bengals coach Marvin Lewis discusses the dismissal of defensive coordinator Teryl Austin and the potential return of Hue Jackson. Fletcher Page, fpage@enquirer..com
Marvin Lewis sat at the podium on Monday in his new, dual role. Lewis the head coach/defensive coordinator faced forward for the first time.
On the day in which he fired DC Teryl Austin nine games in, Lewis took the wheel in hopes of saving a season cascading off the cliff in a flaming caravan of historically bad defense.
Now the coordinator, all the onus of an ownership preaching “win now” falls to a single place.
