Former Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis is stepping back into a significant role in the NFL for the 2024 season. This time, he'll be joining the Las Vegas Raiders as the assistant head coach under Antonio Pierce. Here’s a rundown of how he got here:
- Advisor to Leader: Lewis initially served as an informal advisor to Pierce last year, after Pierce took over as interim head coach.
- Long History: Reflecting on his journey with Pierce, Lewis shared, “From the time I first met him and had the opportunity to coach him, and then later on at Arizona State... I’ve just been really impressed with him all the time,” Lewis told NFL.com's Grant Gordon.
- Multiple Roles: After parting ways with the Bengals in 2018, Lewis joined Arizona State, eventually becoming a co-coordinator, before transitioning back to a special advisor role.
Their connection goes back to 2002 with the now-Washington Commanders, illustrating a long-standing professional relationship and mutual respect. This reunion in Las Vegas is bound to be an exciting development for both the Raiders and NFL fans!
