Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said he offered some encouragement to Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson after Cleveland dropped its 12th game of the season. Yonathan Daza Jersey .Jackson, the Bengals former offensive coordinator, was emotional after Cleveland lost to the New York Giants 27-13.Being 0-12 is probably ... the hardest thing ever, Jackson said Sunday.Jackson and Lewis are very close and have maintained regular contact in the form of texts or phone calls since Jackson left Cincinnati to take the Browns job, except during weeks they play each other. Lewis made sure to give Jackson a call after hearing about the press conference.I was told about it and just reached out and encouraged him, Lewis said.The two likely wont be talking much next week when the Bengals travel to Cleveland to face the Browns for the second time. Cincinnatis last win this season came against the Browns in October.I know theyve got the week off this week, so well get a ball of knives next week, Lewis said. Lucky us. Thats the way it goes.His best advice to a coach struggling like Jackson: It will get better.I think obviously, some days you question whether youre going to get through the next day because things seem to mount and pile on you, Lewis said. I think a lot of times when people ask about what to expect, expect that the next day is going to be a little better. Thats all I can tell you. And then the next year after that, and the next year after that, some of those things that seem so insurmountable that first season, you realize youre going to get through, things are going to work out and youre going to find a way and its going to work well for you. I think thats important in a tough season we all go through.Lewis is going through struggles of his own this year with the Bengals potentially heading toward one of their worst records in his 14-season tenure (he went 4-11-1 in 2008 and 4-12 in 2010).I think coaches work harder, turn over more stones, they become better coaches, better people when ... youre a touch off, he said.When youre winning, youre doing the same thing, youre just not questioned by the masses here. It doesnt change your outlook on things. I think the players have a hard time wondering why youre climbing up their butt when youre winning. Now they wont have to question that right now. Thats part of it. Its what we are in professional sports. Eric Young Jersey .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference. His tenure as the GM in Vancouver was all too brief.
