jjakq27 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 With the win yesterday at Chicago, Marvin Lewis moved into a tie for fifth place on the Bengals all-time coaching wins list. He is tied with Dave Shula with 19 wins. Marvin, however, needed 36 less games to reach this milestone. Here is the complete list.1. Sam Wyche 64-68 (.485)2. Paul Brown 55-59-1 (.478)3. Forrest Gregg 34-27 (.557)4. Bruce Coslet 21-39 (.350)5. Marvin Lewis 19-16 (.543)5. Dave Shula 19-52 (.268)7. Bill Johnson 18-15 (.545)8. Dick LeBeau 12-33 (.267)9. Homer Rice 8-19 (.296) Quote
thefrazz Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 Man....I'm sorry but looking at that list reminds me how depressing the past has been at times I'm looking forward to a long and successful campaign under Marvin Lewis! Quote
San Antonio Bengal Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 I didn't even realize that Gregg was the only coach other that Marvin to have a winning record. How depressing. Oh, well. It makese the winning now that much sweeter. Quote
jjakq27 Posted October 6, 2005 Author Report Posted October 6, 2005 From the morning Enquirer...."MARVIN'S MARK: Lewis is 20-16 as Bengals coach, and one more victory would give him a .568 winning percentage, which would be the best in franchise history.Forrest Gregg was 34-27 (.557) from 1980-83."http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...060383/1066/SPT I updated the above list and added their winning percentages for comparison.

duus Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 An defeated season, together with a SuperBowl victory, brings that total to 34 wins for Lewis. Cool ... tied for 3rd place by the end of the year. Quote
Stripes Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 This list is depressing. Not even the greatest two coaches in the history of our franchise could eclipse .500.I have a feeling Marvin will more than make up for that. Quote
turningpoint Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 yeah it's trualy pathetic when we have like .400 winning percentage overall.hopefully in about 7years we'll be about .500 Quote
derekshank Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 Hopefully by the time Pittsburgh roles in to town, Marvin will be tied for 4th on the list. And it will have only taken him 37 games to get there... as opposed to Coslett's 60. Damn, we've been bad a real long time. Quote
Stripes Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 Hard to believe that somewhere muddled in those wins are the playoff appearances that put us in our couple of Superbowls. And my God, was Dave Shula horrible.Suddenly, his Crimson Tide are 5-0. Quote
