We Almost Hired Eric Bieniemy in 2019!

[CJD]

I think the natural response to this news is "Damn it! Why did we hire Taylor if we actually could have gotten Bieniemy?" This response is understandable, but if we hired Bieniemy, there's a decent chance we don't have the #1OA pick in 2020, which means we wouldn't have Joe Burrow and this offense probably isn't anywhere close to what it is today. If we had the #3 or #4 overall pick, we may even have drafted...Tua...*shudder*.

Some may call that response "Zac Taylor bad" but it's just how I feel, so I'm grateful that we hired ZT because he really helped us secure Burrow.

Now, if we could just shake him loose this off season and hire Bieniemy (or another qualified coach), that'd be the best case scenario.
