Marvin Lewis: If we win Super Bowl, I’ll walk away from Bengals

The Bengals gave coach Marvin Lewis an extension through the 2016 season in April and that led some of Lewis’s detractors to ask how long Lewis will stay in his job without winning a playoff game.

Bengals owner Mike Brown hasn’t answered that question as Lewis tries to improve on his 0-6 postseason record, but he revealed one potential end to his tenure earlier this week. Lewis said that he’ll happily leave the job for someone else if the Bengals take home the Lombardi Trophy.

“I want to hand Mike the trophy, then just walk away,” Lewis said, via the Cincinnati Enquirer.
