Marvin Lewis News Conference Quotes: 12/31
“I think Emily (Bengals Director of Communications Emily Parker) already sent out the (news) release. I guess it’s bittersweet — this is the last time I get to talk to you. I appreciate the dedication of everybody in this building over the last 16 seasons.

I didn’t deliver what your No. 1 goal is, and that is to be world champions. We didn’t get that done. There have been a lot of positives, but that’s the one goal as a coach that you look forward to doing. Mike and I both decided that it’s time. It was a tough moment for both of us, but I think we both realized.”
