Bengals, Lewis discuss coaching vacancy
NFL.com wire reports
CINCINNATI (Jan. 2, 2003) -- Washington defensive coordinator Marvin Lewis has interviewed for the head coaching job with the Cincinnati Bengals, who also plan to talk to Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey over the weekend.
The club confirmed on its Web site that Lewis met with owner Mike Brown and other family members in Cincinnati. He was the first outside candidate interviewed for the job.
Mularkey will be interviewed in Pittsburgh on Jan. 4, the day before the Steelers' first-round playoff game against Cleveland.
Brown won't comment on the team's search for a head coach.
The Bengals fired coach Dick LeBeau a day after their 2-14 season, the worst in team history.
"Looking at it from the outside, some people might say, 'Don't go near that situation,' but that's not how I view it," Lewis said. "I think there's a lot of talent there, and it's a good opportunity for somebody." .........more
