Marvin Lewis is staying as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. A press conference is set for 4:30 to announce Lewis is returning for his ninth season as coach.
Lewis agreed to a contract extension after two days of negotiating changes in how the front office functions and integrates with the day-to-day operations of the football team.
Mike Brown wanted to keep him, offering an extension last season. Lewis wanted to stay, but only if he got more influence over the personnel decisions.
The Bengals are coming off a 4-12 season. They've had only two winning records during Lewis' eight seasons, and in Cincinnati, Lewis' career record is 60-69-1.
Cincinnati has only two winning records in the last 20 years, both under Marvin Lewis, but the Bengals haven't won a playoff game since 1990. And parts of the HQ would maintain that Carson Palmer hasn't been the same since the surgery on his throwing shoulder...
Now if only he could throw to more guys like Shipley and Gresham...
And not get caught in situations like this...
