FS1's Skip Bayless: Marvin Lewis was strapped by Bengals' 'mom-and-pop operation'

Co-host Skip Bayless argued during FS1's Undisputed on Monday that Marvin Lewis would have been a better hire than Mike McCarthy as the Dallas Cowboys' new head coach, in part because Lewis managed to lead the Cincinnati Bengals to the NFL playoffs seven times despite being "strapped by one of the cheapest owners in pro football" and the "mom-and-pop operation in Cincinnati."

The Cowboys reportedly interviewed Lewis on Saturday before announcing that head coach Jason Garrett's contract would not be renewed.
