“I want to hand Mike the trophy, then just walk away," he said, via the Cincinnati Enquirer.
He didn’t guarantee his dream would become a reality this season, but he did say it’s a real possibility.
“We’re good enough, but we have to play good enough," Lewis said.
You can’t fault the coach for believing in his team.
While Cincinnati does have a talented roster, recent history doesn’t bode well for the franchise. Lewis, who has been the team’s coach since 2003, is 0-6 in the postseason. He might need to make something happen if he wants that walk into the sunset to be his choice.
