Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis has re-signed as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, the team announced Tuesday.
Lewis met with Bengals ownership Tuesday and resolved issues that would keep him around. Terms of his new contract weren't immediately available.
The Bengals have schedule a 4:30 p.m. ET press conference.
I'm stunned by this. Aside from a pair of playoff appearances, Marvin Lewis has been a dud. Why bring him back, unless you're putting the blame for the 4-12 record solely on the T.Ocho tandem?
"This is the worst kind of discrimination - the kind against me!"
Based on what Marvin's demands were reported as, this is still a good thing for the Bengals regardless of how good a coach he is (and he's not). He wanted a good practice facility and more money put into the scouting; those things can get you more wins than a coach that knows when to make a challenge.
It is the policy of the documentary crew to remain true observers and not interfere with its subjects. "Well. Shit." -hansen9j Go Pack Go! (10-6, 6th seed NFC) Let's Go Riders! (getting pretty tired of being the bridesmaid)

You are so naive.

All the substantive, off-the-record talks he has had with various media, locally and nationally, about the changes he needed to compete with Baltimore and Pittsburgh, went by the wayside. No personnel department, no bubble, nothing said yesterday that would indicate any changes, beyond the sacrificial lopping of an assistant coach or two. Way to stick to your guns, coach.

As a Steeler fan this is great news. Not only do we get another Ohio team that shoot itself in the foot almost every year, they are going to keep the QB who is obviously past his prime. Awesome!
I'm soooo rooting for Saints-Jets, which is why I'm 100% convinced it'll be Vikings-Colts. Either way, I'm stoked for this weekend's Double Stuf Racing League matchup between the Mannings and the Donalds /sarcasm
