We'll see how things play out, but I think that's important and gives Zac a much better shot than Shula ever had.
You are right there. Trust me. I'd love to see Zac succeed here.
However, there's too many things they have in common it's down right frightening.
I mean how do we know Shula didn't have the players respect until year 3 or 4 when his teams kept on losing?
However, one thing Zac has that Shula didnt have was the Bengals were effective in free agency and drafted well.
Back in 1994, we had Mike Brown at the helm. No one can be successful with him at the helm with the exception of Marvin Lewis.
As Nate posted, this is the make or break year for Taylor. If he doesn't have 10+ wins and a post season appearance then he had his shot.
Time to look in a new direction and someone with at least coordinator experience.
