If Andy Dalton, Why Not Marv Lewis, Seriously?

I’ll repeat my answer. No.

Yes. He is a viable option for an immediate in season upgrade over a coach who is a career 22 games under .500 over a 2.5 season head coaching career. Dennis Allen is proving what the numbers already said, he is Urban Meyer and Hue Jackson level. He is like if we brought in Terrelle Pryor or Matt McGloin as QB, his fellow Raider misfits. I dont understand how Marv Lewis is worse than Andy Dalton. 34 at QB is maybe worse than 64 as head coach especially for a QB who has been playing backup and losing for years. Dalton has a similar .500 type record. Dalton is likely a lake duck too but either one could stick around if they win enough. I would rather finish this year with a Jim Mora type head coach than with the least accomplished head coach in modern Saints history who can’t even be positively compared to Haslett or Ditka because they both had better results.
