Lewis is coming off back-to-back losing seasons and has no playoff wins in 15 seasons with Cincinnati.
Hereâs a sampling of reaction to the news on Twitter:
Marvin Lewis is returning to coach the Bengals. You know what they say:

The 16th year is the charm!
Just seeing the Marvin Lewis news.

Never seen a situation quite like that. I get the #Bengals were a disaster before he showed up, but....
15 seasons, no playoff wins, 52% winning record.
He shouldnât be employed.
I'm sure Marvin Lewis is a great guy. But its time for the Bengals to move on

I know a lot of ppl focus on #MarvinLewis 0-7 playoff record, but letâs be real. Carsonâs knee was blown out in â05, Coles was their best WR in â09, â11 & â12 HOU was the better team, everybody was hurt in â14. In â15 they had it and lost their poise & â13 they shouldâve won.

Marvin Lewis getting a contract extension is pathetic. Management just proved theyâre cool with failure.

S/O to Marvin Lewis, coach of the Bengals!!!! I need that type of job security! đ¤ˇđžââď¸

Marvin Lewis is coming back. Bring back Peko, Maualuga, and Whitworth while you're at it

Itâs not Marvin Lewis that is the problem, itâs Mike Brown

Though Marvin Lewis has a record of .527 as head coach of the @Bengals, he missed the playoffs the last two seasons and when he did make it, he never won a single playoff victory. They should have let him go.

Hey, everyone complaining about Marvin Lewis keeping his job....remember the Browns are keeping their head coach who makes Lewis look like Don Shula in comparison.

I love Marvin Lewis, but staying with the Bengals is a bad fit for both sides.

Whether you agree or disagree with Marvin Lewis being back with the #Bengals do true fans want the days of Bruce Coslet, David Shula, Dick LeBeau?? Get a OL & guys healthy & see what happens. #JustSaying đ¤đ
