92: 5-11

93: 3-13

94: 3-13

95: 7-9

96: 8-8

97: 7-9

98: 3-13

99: 4-12

00: 4-12

01: 6-10

02: 2-14

Lewis Era:

03: 8-8

04: 8-8

05: 11-5

06: 8-8

07: 7-9

08: 4-11-1

09: 10-6

10: 4-12

14:10-5-1

*Not one winning season in the 12 years before Lewis. One.500 season.

After Lewis 6 winning seasons, three .500 seasons and only 3 losing seasons. Lewis is like Marty he can't win a playoff game but he certainly is better than any coach before him in the last dozen years. The Bengals should look at that before firing him. JMO. I don't care what they do though, I only care what the Browns do.

Well, Im definitely good with him staying in Cinci....preferably forever!

But, no matter what his regular season record is, you cannot ignore 0-6 in the playoffs.....tied for the worst ever for a HC

Fox sucks. He is a replacement-level coach.

At this point perhaps.....but he is one of only a handful that have led two different teams to the Super Bowl.

What makes you think Twitter itself is a reliable source. Twitter itself is no more reliable than my dick. Who wrote the Twitter note? The Chicago Bears?

(nevertheless I do understand that is supposed to be the case)

Most things get broken on twitter first these days, especially in the world of sports.

Yeah. All coaches that take teams from 1-15 to the Super Bowl in two years are shitty.

only problem is that that never happened....who did he take from 1-15 to the Super Bowl?

edit....ok, I found it and stand corrected....though Id say that wasn't really a 1-15 team as much as it looks more like seifert drove a 7-9 team off a cliff and Fox got them back to where they belonged.....on the same note, that team also went from 12-4 to 2-14 in the same amount of time....so, there's that....

Pumpkin Eater

Yeah they had no qb that 2-14 year. They expected Matt Moore to be serviceable but he shit the bed.

How does Fox suck?

You design a defense that allows Jake Delhomme to get to the Super Bowl or get to the second round of the playoffs with Tim Tebow.

Four years in Denver, four division championships, one Conference championship ... ya, he blows.
