Wow.......how did this happen...slugging it out year by year...is already the Bengals coach who has manned the helm for the most years...


Takes the most wins title from Sam Wyche,with Paul Brown falling to third...

A classy guy...to stick around and keep reinventing the Bengals while working for an owner as incompetent as Mike Brown..........this may just be the sturdiest man to ever coach the Bengals.

LOL @ sturdiest.
I think Marvin is ok. He needs 3 more years if no more advancement then hes gone.

The winningest coach in the teams history is 6 games under .500 and never won a playoff game, Awesome...

Its a dubious honor for sure; sort of like the guy who spends 15 years in the Minor Leagues and sets the all time home run record.

Marvin has this record because Mike Brown has kept him around to be his yes-man.

Indeed.

Marvin isn't a terrible coach but he definitely isn't a great coach. If he were coaching anywhere else with the same results he would've been canned a few years ago but it also can't be easy coaching a team put together by Mike Brown. I'd be curious to see how he does with a team that has a real GM. I'd guess he'd end up as just a slightly above average head coach.

Taking this franchise to the playoffs twice. Damn near hall of fame caliber. With Rachel phelps err mike brown at the helm there is little hope of winning.

I believe he is already the record holder for most players arrested for a coach...
