I'm all for it IF he hires a strong offensive staff.

Bring in a bunch of old dudes and right this ship.

Why has no one considered re-hiring Herm? I want our team to play to win the game

We need to go after Antonio Pierce if Lewis comes in.

I would not be excited at all about a Marvin Lewis hire. However, in some ways, it's like eating vegetables. You might not like it, but you might need it.

The Bengals are the worst franchise in the NFL, bar none, and he made them a perennial playoff team. Obviously he didn't have success in the playoffs, but if he did, he would still be in Cincinnati.

And like you said, if we do hire Marvin, we need a strong offensive staff.

Jim Caldwell never turned around a program as HC as dramatically as Lewis.

Caldwell's greatest achievement as HC was riding Peyton's coattails to a SB loss.

In Caldwell's defense, three winning seasons in four years in Detroit is pretty good, especially since they haven't won more than 6 games since he left.

I think it's fair to throw him and Marvin Lewis in the same boat. Lewis is the better candidate of the two though. I don't like that Caldwell had health issues last year and he was out of the NFL 2 of the last 3 years.

I don't want either of these guys

But I'd take Fisher over Lewis every God damn day of the week

Difference is that the winning seasons he had with those Lions rosters were underachivements (Lewis may have underachieved with the Bengals a couple of times, but he built them to that point; Caldwell didn't)

Marvin Lewis literally has never won a playoff game

Fisher made the titans a legit contender for a while, and set up the Rams to eventually become one as well (even though everyone rides Mcvays dick) not to mention he was one of the more prominent leaders as far the nfl goes

Neither are on my wish list. But at least I think Fisher could bring some good with him

Fisher almost destroyed Gurley's career before it got started.  freak him, he sucks.

Marvin is the definition of a safe pick. 

I don't know the answer to this, but why did Marvin ultimately flame out in Cincy?  Was it him, his staff, the talent?  I think I remember it being the consistent failure in the playoffs, but I'm not sure why that happened.

I think you answered your own question.  It was probably a combination of all the things you mentioned.  Plus, he'd been there for over a decade...sometimes the message in the lockeroom gets a little stale if you're not taking that next step to better results.

I was going to make a joke about how he would replace Frank Gore with a younger guy like Cedric Benson. Googled to check that Benson was younger than Gore, I was right and he was but it turns he also died in 2019 in a motorcycle accident. I had no idea.

Doesn't sound like we're aiming for a stopgap hire so he's probably not ultimately in the running either way. Considering how many of these guys flame out he's probably a better idea than most of them long-term if it somehow does happen.
