Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 1507430, member: 204"] Over the weekend I was reminded of this topic by the Bengals. Marvin Lewis has been the HC at Cincinnati for years. He has had some success but has never made a Super Bowl - I'm not even sure he's won a play-off game. Many owners/administrators would have fired him long ago on that basis. A change would have been made with no promise for greater success. And, in many instances if not most, the next coach would have not have fared as well as Lewis. So, now, the Bengals look like they could get to the Super Bowl - and much of that hope has derived from the patience shown by ownership. I think that's the right approach. I also thought of the University of Tennessee and the decision to fire Coach Fulmer. The guy had won an NC and lots of games. And ever since they decided to fire the guy the Vols have been a mess with I think three or four coaches. It will be interesting to see how MD does now that Edsall is gone. [/QUOTE]
