Kirkendall Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 http://www.bengals.com/press/news.asp?iCur...=0&news_id=2753Good job team. Quote
rob_justdmb Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 You know the best part about this is when he was first hired it was "If he makes them respectable, he can get any job in the league he wants." This type of thing is making that true, although the only job he'll want is the Bengals job. There really seems to be the type of loyalty between Coach and Mike Brown that will keep him here for a Cowher like reign, even though it's sort of against the trend for that to happen. Quote
Kirkendall Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Posted February 14, 2005 Through the Age of Helplessism, I always thought the only way for the Bengals to succeed was without Mike Brown. He's starting to make me a believer that he can change his ways and field a winning team; which always starts at the HC. Quote
skyline Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 Good! That's very encouraging news... Quote
LABengalsFan09 Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!! :player: :player: :player: Quote
membengal Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 Incredibly good news. This is what relaxes me about the personnel decisions that have to be made this off-season...ML clearly is still comfortable with the direction here. Quote
rob_justdmb Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 ML clearly is still comfortable with the direction here. Maybe I'm too old school here, but every time I see "ML" I think, "What the hell did ML Harris have to do with building team speed?" :-) Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 It's very uncommon for the Bengals to make a news release about a head coach, and his contract, and it's a good thing for all parties involved. I mean those things just didn't happen too often during these past 10-12 years.I like it Mike. Keep it up! :player: Quote
Bobcat Bengal Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 Great News!I love Coach Lewis. I hope he never goes anywhere.(but didn't he already have an extension before? ) Quote
Kirkendall Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Posted February 14, 2005 (but didn't he already have an extension before? ) Yea, he got a one-year extension after last season. I think this extension gave him $2 mil a year. Quote
Pandre Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 This is great news. Marvin is going to be the man to take us all the way. You just gotta love him (even if he is from Pittsburgh). Quote
BengalByTheBay Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 Best off-season move by the team for the second year running. Quote
jjakq27 Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 Hopefully the next good news is about Rudi and TJ. Quote
OICanDoThat Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 Hopefully the next good news is about Rudi and TJ. yeah, they are leaving. Quote
jjakq27 Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 How bad was Dave Shula? With three more wins, Marvin Lewis will equal the number of wins that Shula got in over 4 seasons. Five more and he will tie Bruce Coslet. Six will make him the fourth winningest coach in team history.It's interesting to note that only two coaches had a record above .500, Forrest Gregg and Bill "Tiger" Johnson.Sam Wyche 1984-91 64-68 Paul Brown 1968-75 55-59-1 Forrest Gregg 1980-83 34-27 Bruce Coslet 1996-2000 21-39Dave Shula 1992-96 19-52 Bill Johnson 1976-78 18-15-1 Marvin Lewis 2003- 16-16 Dick LeBeau 2000-02 12-33 Homer Rice 1978-79 8-19-1 Quote

I love the Bengals man, but that's just sad! 3 8-8 seasons and you're 4th all-time. Thank GOD The Age of Helplessism is over. Quote

jditty47 Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 2 of 9 coaches had a above .500 win percentage...and barely above for that. that is sad sad sad. Quote
turningpoint Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 if marvin goes 9-7 he'll have the franchise best winning percentage, how pathetic, of a franchise we have.... Quote
BengalNation1281 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 This makes me very, very happy. It also makes me wish that August would HURRY THE HELL UP!!! PLAYOFFS, B**CH!!! Knowing this inspires confidence that I haven't experienced all that often as a Bengals fan. ML 4 Life, and oddly enough, Mike Brown 4 Life :player: :player: :player: BN1281 Quote
