It wasn’t the news we had hoped for.
Marvin Lewis, the winningest head coach in franchise history, will continue coaching the Cincinnati Bengals into his 16th and 17th seasons. After an absence of updates on Monday and for most of the sunlit hours on Tuesday, the team announced a two-year agreement Lewis to remain as the team’s head coach.
Predictable. Cowardly. Incompetent.
Cincinnati is in desperate need for a change. We’ve been seeing it for years. The team-friendly media has seen it. Contemporaries around the league have seen it. Coming off two losing seasons and 15 years without a postseason win (and dozens of embarrassing primetime performances), the Bengals had a golden opportunity to move in a new direction.
