He's been here since 2019...in that time span the Buccaneers went from a team with a 1st overall pick bust QB and 2 winning seasons in a decade to being SB champs and favorite to win in 2021 and the Browns went from "same old Browns" to "maybe not the same old Browns?" Again, even outside of Cincy, I honestly don't know...how many HCs that go on to be really good start off as badly as ZT has? Or even start off with two losing seasons? The NFL has just really turned into a league that moves quickly and I just can't imagine most other fanbases twiddling their thumbs for 2+ years to see if a guy with a dreadful resume "gets it."
Or ZT makes the playoffs this year and all is well.
Ive seen it posted on here that Burrow wouldn't sign a 2nd contract with Cincinnati if Zac were to be fired. Anyone who believes that Burrow's decision on a 2nd contract depends on whether Zac is the head coach is out of their mind.
Burrow wants to win. If Zac is fired and we bring in a competent staff with a good OC and head coach and we start winning then guess what Burrow will be more than happy to sign a 2nd contact with the team.
However, if Joey decides its time to move on because we cut loose of Zac then we have another high draft pick, and high compensation pick and we can draft another QB.
Personally, I think Burrow is in Cincinnati for the next 10 years but if he decided to leave because Zac got fired....Adios!! Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya" especially if we have 5 seasons of losing.
