POINT CLEAR, Ala. – He is the first outsider ever to be named head coach of Paul Brown's Bengals. The first of the nine not first waved into the organization by the founding father. And he’s the first one who wins a Super Bowl ring as a coach and he does it for the Baltimore Ravens, one of the division teams the perennial doormat Bengals are trying to replicate and pass. Bengals president Mike Brown passes the torch tonight. Marvin Lewis's only connection to the Bengals is the nickname of his college at Idaho State. "This is a sea change for us," says Brown, flopping back in a chair in his hotel room at the Bengals’ Senior Bowl headquarters, drained by his franchise's first extensive outside search for a head coach.
