afparent Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Don't you just know that Cincinnati head coach Marvin Lewis enjoyed beating the Redskins in his first trip back to Washington since serving as the team's defensive coordinator in 2002 under Steve Spurrier? Lewis was the de facto head coach that season in Washington, helping the ridiculously unprepared Spurrier through any number of situations that a defensive coordinator usually doesn't have to worry about. That the Redskins were even able to get to 7-9 that season had as much to do with Lewis as anyone. And while we're on the topic of Washington, nice call, Joe Gibbs, on the quarterback front. But you benched Mark Brunell in favor of Patrick Ramsey about, oh, seven weeks too late. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/writers/don_banks/11/14/banks.rams/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Why is everyone talking about Lewis getting revenge or something? All he has ever openly said was that he loved coaching here. And he left us to be a head coach. It's not like we fired him or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntotoro Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I don't get the whole revenge thing being played up here and during the broadcast yesterday. Lewis was told he'd be let out of his contract if a coaching opportunity came along and that word was honored. He has no ill feelings toward the Redskins team or organization.

afparent Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 This may answer the question: 5. You have to believe that 17-10 defeat of Washington was gratifying for Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis, and not just because it marked the first time under quarterback Carson Palmer that the Bengals won consecutive games. No, it came at the expense of a club that could've hired Lewis as a head coach -- not once but twice - but instead passed him over for Marty Schottenheimer and Steve Spurrier. http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/story/7889183/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 That's completely imaginary. Lewis was never considered as a coaching candidate here. Hell, if Banks wants to be really picky, he could use every single team the Bengals play as a "revenge" game because they had every single opportunity to sign him as a head coach as any other. That's just stupid. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Gosh, I wonder if Don Banks remarked on the revenge that Marvin Lewis got on the Cowboys last week for passing him up when they hired Parcells. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCRoughrider Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Lots of teams could have hired him as head coach, not just the Redskins. This is stupid. Carolina could have hired him. Jacksonville could have hired him. Why would his animous be particular for the Redskins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
