Question: The 2003 Cincinnati Bengals season was the team's 36th year in professional football and its 34th with the National Football League, the Bengals are now under first year Head Coach Marvin Lewis, who replaced which American football coach and former cornerback, that was fired following the 2002 season?

The 2003 Cincinnati Bengals season was the team's 36th year in professional football and its 34th with the National Football League.  The Bengals had the first pick overall in the 2003 NFL Draft and drafted Heisman Trophy winner Carson Palmer with the first pick.  After a slow start, the Bengals got hot winning at midseason, winning four straight games to stand at 7–5, entering a key Week 14 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens with a chance to win the division.  The Bengals are now under first year Head Coach Marvin Lewis, who replaced Dick LeBeau who was fired following the 2002 season after the worst season in Bengals history.  However in the key showdown for first place the Bengals showed they were not quite ready for primetime as they were beaten 31–13.  The Bengals would rebound to win their next game against the San Francisco 49ers, but at 8–6 the Bengals could not get that ninth win, losing their last two games to spoil an effort to earn their first winning season in 13 years, finishing at 8–8. <SEP> Charles Richard LeBeau ( ; born September 9, 1937) is an American football coach and former cornerback, who is the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League (NFL).  He has been active at field level in the NFL for 58 consecutive seasons–14 as a player with the Detroit Lions and 44 as a coach.  He is considered to be one of the greatest defensive coordinators of all time.  Considered an “innovator” and “defensive football genius”, LeBeau created the "zone blitz" when he was defensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals in the late 1980s. <SEP> The 2001 Cincinnati Bengals season was the team's 34th year in professional football and its 32nd with the National Football League.  In the first full season with Dick LeBeau as head coach, the Bengals abandoned their plans for developing quarterback Akili Smith as their starter by acquiring Jon Kitna from the Seattle Seahawks.  The Bengals would win their first two games with Kitna behind center, and sat at 4–3 through the first seven games of the season.  However, the Bengals would struggle again, losing their next seven games as Kitna struggled with inconsistency, throwing 22 interceptions while throwing only 12 Touchdown passes.  The Bengals would win their final two games to close the season with a mediocre 6–10 record, their 11th straight season without tallying a winning record.  Despite the team's struggles, All-Pro running back Corey Dillon had another stellar year, rushing for 1,315 yards. <SEP> The 1996 Cincinnati Bengals season was the team's 29th year in professional football and its 27th with the National Football League.  The Dave Shula era comes to a sudden end when he is fired after a 1–6 start, as Jeff Blake struggles with turnovers.  Former Bengals TE Bruce Coslet, former New York Jets head coach, and the team's offensive coordinator, would replace Shula as head coach.  The move paid off right away as the Bengals won the first 3 games under Coslet.  After losing two of their next three games, the Bengals closed the year with three straight wins to finish with an 8–8 record.  One bright spot during the season, was that WR Carl Pickens became the first member of the Bengals to have 100 receptions in a season.
