Is Marvin Lewis a much better coach than what he gets credit for?

[ateamstupid]

Doug, you have a grammatical pet peeve of mine in the title of this thread. The 'what' is completely unnecessary. It's something I hear buffoon color commentators like Troy Aikman say all the time: "He's playing way better than what he was last year" and it drives me nuts.

Oh, and for the eternal victim up there, his argument was never that Lewis was a good coach statistically or strategically. It was always something meaningless like "Lewis is old school, he's a nice guy, he's a straight talker", etc. and therefore he shouldn't be fired.
