If he had made the comments after Mikey tried to sign him to an extension, there would have likely been more fan support which may have aided Marvin and Mike both getting what they wanted.
I'd be perfectly happy with Brian Billick, but as Boss said in the other thread, he is going to want more control than SoP is willing to give.
Who's to say Billick will have options? If he wants to coach in the NFL it may be Bengals or nothing

Marvin Lewis needs to be held responsible for this disaster of a season. Brown, despite all his faults, gave Lewis a team that could be successful. Marvin failed miserably.
I think I am ready for a change.
And, that's the bottom-line.

I wouldn't be shocked if he emerged as the top candidate for the SF gig.

My guess is if it comes down to coaching the Bengals or remaining at Fox and then waiting for a more desirable job to come open, he will stay at Fox.

I think they are going to go all in for Jim Harbaugh. Also seen Marvin Lewis mentioned.

Billick was ticked that he didn't even get an interview for the Bills job. Coaching in Buffalo has to rank in the top 5 of least desirable jobs in the NFL. I have to think hewants back in after several yrs off, imagine he brings Fassel with him.

San Francisco is a mess -- it's a team that's been drifting aimlessly for the last 6 years and they still have no QB on the roster. With the overhaul that team needs plus the labor situation, I can't see Harbaugh jumping for the gig unelss he really wants in to the NFL.
I'm guessing he heads to Michigan, just a gut feeling though.

Same with me. I think San Fran will make a run at Harbaugh, but my guess is after the Bowl Game tonight you will see some movement made tomorrow. Rodriguez will probably be let go tomorrow and Harbaugh will become the top candidate there.
As for Marvin to San Fran, you kinda have to wonder about that. The York family isn't much better than Mike Brown when it comes to running a franchise and they are a lot less patient. Marvin got eight years to fiddle with mediocrity while he will be lucky to get three in SF.
