The Cincinnati Bengals do not want their head coach Marvin Lewis to coach those wearing New Orleans Saints jerseys, so they are now working on a contract extension with Lewis, who would love to stay as long as the team’s offer is alluring enough.
“Mike and I at some point hopefully come to an agreement from both sides of us and we all feel good about,” Lewis told the Cincinnati Enquirer. “We have spoken about the contract a few times since then but we don’t talk about it daily. That’s not me to worry about it or bring it up. I don’t go about it that way. I would love to continue to coach here. I think every year is a new challenge, a new start and hell we’ve got Ocho.”
Although the Bengals do not lure a quarterback like the one in No.4 Brett Favre jersey, Lewis still has a strong reason to stay with team: he is getting along very well with the Bengals owner Mike Brown, who is always supporting the coach’s decision and offers as much help as possible.
