Marvin Lewis could be first NFL coach fired in 2007

Just how much is an employer willing to tolerate? Cincinnati Bengals
owner Mike Brown may not be able to take too much more from his head coach, Marvin Lewis.It's bad enough that a very talented football team with one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL can't win consistently. It's even worse that nine of Lewis' players were arrested in a nine-month span, making the Bengals look more like a chain gang than a professional football team.
Now, Lewis is allowing his mouth to run amuck, when he should be doing everything possible to take the spotlight off of him and his criminal players.
Lewis recently told ESPN radio interviewer Dan Patrick that he believes that the Cincinnati police are profiling Bengals players.
Of course, the next day Lewis apologized, using the old, "That's not what I meant" routine in a lame attempt to excuse his remarks.
Lewis is on the hot seat this season.
He'll be scrutinized by Brown more than most head coaches, because of the litany of off-the-field problems with Bengals players and the horrible mistake Lewis made, calling out the Cincinnati police.
If the Bengals start the season 1-4, look for Lewis to be canned.
