Mike Brown is the worst owner in the NFL. Marvin Lewis has Palmer, TO, OchoCinco, and Benson on a team, and wins 4 games, and yet we keep him???!!! He's an average coach at best. TO was right in that the ownership and coaching made this team underachieve this year. I'm convinced the Bengals will never be serious contenders as long as Mike Brown is the owner.

That's fair and I agree with where you are coming from. But at this stage, knowing all that you stated, the best move was to bring Marvin back. At least he has head coaching experience. The best they were going to do was promote a coordinator, then we would have 8 more years identical to what we had. Now, if Brown does give the Bengals players more tools (scouting, practice facilities, player personnel) then if the Bengals don't improve, we will know it was 100% Marvin, and maybe not as much Brown.
