Isn't It Nice...

That the top two coaches in the NFL this year are both blacks, and no one seems to notice that. Another coach in the top 5 is Marvin Lewis, who despite his loss today deserves so much credit. He has simply turned the whole Bengals' operation around, seemingly by his very will. He has given them a swagger and a whole new attitude, and they made the playoffs for the first time since 1990. There has been a whole culture of losing down there, and it is now 180 degrees the other way. That is coaching and that is leadership.
