Lewis to Michigan?

[turk]

Ok, not to get everyone's hopes up, but ESPN 1000 in Chicago mentioned a
rumor that the U of Michigan was considering pursuing Marvin Lewis to be
their next head coach, presumably contingent on his firing at the end of the
NFL season. Not much to substantiate this, but the hosts of the show (the
Jurko, Mac and Harry Show) also used the opportunity to ridicule Lewis and
his shitty record with the Bengals and his penchant for having players
arrested. Needless to say, I was excited by the news, but they were just
incredulous that Michigan would want the bum (and in that way, I agreed)...

Maybe Tressel started the rumor.

Please, please, please let it not be a rumor...

I heard this a little bit ago on FSR from someone calling in from
Michigan.

I have some mixed feelings about this.

1.OSU might own Michigan for a long time to come.
2.As a OSU fan I would love to root AGAINST Marvin.
3.Who would the Bengals replace Marvin with?

I really do not believe Marvin is the #1 enemy of the team,try ownership
first.

Watching Thursday night football tonight I learned that Paul Brown was
one of THREE people to go into the Hall Of Fame and still be involved in
the NFL after the fact.

The Browns are doing this team and the family name such a injustice.

I hear Marty Schottenheimer (sp?) is available. He's been one of the
few retread coaches who actually does well every where he goes. (IIRC)

I still like Marvin, but.... I agree he's not the #1 enemy.

I think "The Browns" is ONLY Mike. If he steps down, dies, or
whatever... you'll see Katie Blackburn take over and hire a GM.

[Michael Benvie]

And she'll probably hire someone who has no experience being a GM (ala Matt
Millen). And that will change what?

I heard this as a rumor again on FSR this morning.
To elaborate on a previous post,I was under the assumption that the
Browns would take over if anything happened to Mikie,considering their
positions in the organization and being family.
I just assumed they were "ownership" as well.
I hope Iam wrong.

I think she's smarter than that.

There you go. But honestly there have been several long-term Bengal
players that have negotiated with her and Troy and they always seem
very pleased with how she treats them and is up front, etc.
