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

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.

What I find funny is this Calzone comes on here stating pretty bluntly what I stated 2 years ago almost exactly word for word.....what a pit of hell the organization was, what I said two years ago....how bad Mike Brown is, what I said two years ago....my argument was pretty much for all intents and purposes what he stated. I simply stated it after a bad 4-12 season however and pretty much every single person on the thread but namely two on here took me to the woodshed. You crticize this Doug's grammar. Evidently he knows something that I don't by stating what I stated or something like that??

No, that's pretty much a lie. Flat out. It's pretty sad, when you can actually go look at that thread. It's still there.
