A little perspective....

It just doesn't make sense why though. Like, they hired Zac Taylor because no one wanted this job. They called some veteran coaches and they didn't even want to talk to the Bengals, let alone interview or consider the job. They had to go all the way down to a freaking QB coach to find someone willing to helm this team.

The team that Lewis left had almost no talent left, they didn't have a premium pick in the following draft and the QB was stuck at Dalton for at least another 1 to 2 years. With a bad owner, this was the most unattractive head coaching role in the entire NFL in 2019.

Now, we have one of the most talented young offenses in the NFL (the shell of it, at least), a potential super star QB, three really, really good WRs, a good RB locked up long term and a few good pieces on the offensive line. And the defense, for all its faults, has some talent on it as well.

This would be a premier coaching position if we opened it up in 2022. We could get the cream of the crop coaching candidates, rather than having to settle for a guy like Zac Taylor.

I feel like getting 9 or 10 wins and then firing ZT is the absolute best case scenario. It's what the Chargers did, after all. I want to follow their trajectory.
