He's 100-95-1 over a 12 year career and 0-6 during the postseason. Now in most cases that would be enough to get a mediocre coach fired but considering where the Bengals were, and where they are now should make the owner pause. Going back a few decades the past coaches were Dick LeBeau, who went 12-33. Bruce Coslet was 21-39. Dave Shula went 19-52. So a case could be made that Lewis deserves even more time since he has brought the Bengals from irrelevancy. (And as fans of the Jags we can relate to that over the past 5 years or so) But then again Marty Schottenheimer was fired after a 14-2 season and multiple playoff fails.
