Marvin Lewis coach groomer to the Stars!!

[CrashDavisSports]

Leslie Frasier (Coached Minnesota)
Hue Jackson (Coached Raiders)
Jay Gruden (Coaching Redskins)
Mike Zimmer (Coaching Minnesota)

Who else am I missing?

If you want to be a HC in this league, it is a must stop on anyones itinerary, to be in Cincinnati and train under "the one, the only, celebrity coach groomer to the stars, MARVIN LEWIS"!!!!

Leslie Frasier (Coached Minnesota) - Fired
Hue Jackson (Coached Raiders) - Fired and came back to Marvin with tail tucked firmly between legs
Jay Gruden (Coaching Redskins) - Soon to be fired by the only team more dysfunctional than the Bengals
Mike Zimmer (Coaching Minnesota) - Really the only bright spot, but is being put in a real tough situation.

Not exactly the Bill Parcells or Bill Walsh coaching tree.

You can make an argument that Frasier was undone by his own success in 2012 making the playoffs due to a career year from ADP and weak schedule. No one thought they had a chance to do anything. Though, he was the one suggesting to start Freeman, so, yeah. He got what he probably deserved in the end.

Hue did a pretty decent job in Oak. I think he got fired because upper management didn't like his style, but he did a solid job with a pretty bad Oakland team. I wouldn't say he left with his tail tucked between his legs.

Gruden took the HC job in Wash. He'll be fired, but it's a win/win for him. He gets to be a HC and if he wins there, he'll be golden. If he can't win there, everyone will automatically blame Snyder. So, he'll still come out clean and get another shot.

Zimmer...really interested to see what he can do. Got Norv to come in, and the offense will look better next year, and no doubt they will find a QB to make things work. Also, with Norve's style...ADP is in for another big year, and so is Kyle R.

If you can't afford to go to Harvard, then you go to the local state college.
