If Marvin Lewis is the Bengals head coach throughout 2010, he will become the longest tenured head coach in franchise history. I know what you're feeling -- that just doesn't seem right. Before the season, Lewis was one of three Bengals head coaches with a career winning record (42-38) and third winningest head coach in franchise history. After going 1-11-1 this year, his career record dropped to fifth all-time, behind Paul Brown and Sam Wyche, and isn't within the exclusive head coaches with a winning record as a Bengals head coach.
| Coach | Games | Regular | Winning % | Playoffs |
| Forrest Gregg | 57 | 32-25 | .561 | 2-2 |
| Bill Johnson | 33 | 18-15 | .545 | 0-0 |
| Paul Brown | 112 | 55-56-1 | .496 | 0-3 |
| Sam Wyche | 127 | 61-66 | .480 | 3-2 |
| Marvin Lewis | 93 | 43-49-1 | .468 | 0-1 |
| Bruce Coslet | 60 | 21-39 | .350 | 0-0 |
| Homer Rice | 27 | 8-19 | .296 | 0-0 |
| Dick LeBeau | 45 | 12-33 | .267 | 0-0 |
| Dave Shula | 74 | 19-55 | .257 | 0-0 |
Lewis can still jump Wyche this season for fourth winningest coach, provided he closes the season with a perfect record. Still going for him is that he's one of four head coaches to take the Bengals to the playoffs. Next step? Becoming the third head coach to record a victory in the post-season. That might take a while.
