he really isn’t that bad of a coach. He worked for Mike Brown who refused to invest in the scouting department and constantly brought in players with off field issues.

Honestly, I always thought he did pretty well for what he was forced to work with.

Him and Jim Caldwell see to be the franchise stabilizing candidates that we likely need even if they never bring us a title.

He would be a great GM.

Every Bengals he has coached has been well built top to bottom with talent.

Is it possible either would want to be an assistant Head Coach?

I'd rather go with a younger offensive mind for HC if we're replacing Kliff. I wouldnt mind those guys as someone to help bring structure to Kliff's team though.

He already is with the Dolphins. (Edit again: Caldwell was in that role with the Dolphins but then left for medical reasons and did not return)

Lewis as HC with Caldwell as OC, while grooming some up and coming coaches to take over/take to next level...I'd be all over that.

At their age, the only grooming they would find time for would be grooming the hair that's growing out of their ears. No to both.

They are 62 - Lewis and 65 - Caldwell...lol They aren't on walkers...lol Isn't that your age? Are you saying you'd have nothing to contribute to a younger generation? hahaha

C'mon...give the older guys more credit than that. Neither of them would be even close to the oldest coaches in the NFL.

Agreed! If you want to talk about a lack of discipline, look at Marvin Lewis's teams.

that’s because Mike Brown loves bringing in headcases. Parcells wouldn’t have been able to instill discipline in those thugs

62 would be exactly my age. And exactly why I wouldn't fire either one of them. We're not talking about taking over an established winning franchise. Whoever we hire, will need stamina & energy to overcome the century long dysfunction of the AZ Cardinals. These guys would take the money & run. And laugh all the way to the bank.

The guy has a career record of 131-122

He is literally 0-7 in big game playoff opportunities. He is the epitome of average. He is not a good or even great coach.

Have watched many many many games over the years he has coached. His team are ill prepared and lack discipline. He is literally the last person I want to see hired as a HC here.

Cincinnati is Dallas/Washington/NY Jets ownership level bad. They’re just a smaller NFL market so nobody cares.

The fact that he was able to have a winning record and even GET to the playoffs with Mike Brown as Owner/President/GM while also playing in a division with Baltimore and Pittsburgh pretty much says he’s a damn good coach.

Since Mike Brown took control in 1991, there have been 5 coaches. Games won by Lewis, 131. Total COMBINED games won by other 4 coaches, 62.

My buddy is a die-hard Bengals fan so I’ve watched more than I care to admit. If you ask any Bengals fan, they will tell you Mike Brown is what keeps that team in the cellar.

Most career victories in franchise history. Was coach of the year in 2009. Dude is well respected around the league. I think he’s worth a shot.

okay. just do it.

Hire Herm, Marvin Lewis, and Antonio Pierce. They won't even have to move to the other side of the bed.

Marvin Lewis is why Dre Kirkpatrick has zero discipline. Not only no but hell no.

I disagree...let’s remember he was the coach of the BENGALS
He had them competitive every year
