A topsy-turvy Tuesday ended with Marvin Lewis re-signing with the Cincinnati Bengals as head coach, per ESPN. The annoucment came down just before 4 p.m. EST.
Lewis will be entering his 9th season with the Bengals in 2011. He was the NFL's Coach of the Year in 2009 when he led Cincinnati to the AFC North championship. He has a career mark of 60-67-1.
I'm happy about this. I was never a Lewis fan, but he showed me something by standing up to Mike Brown and making demands. Also, no way Brown would've found anyone better.
Now let's hope Bob Bratkowski is shown the axe as offensive coordinator. If they keep him around, we'll then know for sure nothing will be different. However, if he's shiped out, it will be a clear sign Lewis is finally getting his way. (Brown loves Brat for some reason. Maybe because he likes offensive coordinators that call 3-yard passing plays on third-and-4.
