I know people will say that it's Tobin that makes all the player decisions, but real fans know that the coaches have a huge input on this with the Bengals. Marv had a large input and so does Taylor (and his entire coaching staff). He's brought in leaders and high character guys with something to offer in terms of their talent and work ethic. The culture he has helped build is amazing.
The areas he's struggled are when it comes to X's and O's, scheming, game management, etc. This is where he's improved, and will need to improve further in my mind to be considered in the upper echelon of coaches. He's got a great growth mindset and that will benefit him. I hope to see him continue to learn and improve.
Scheming he’s doing excellent. Mike Zimmer said so. I know a NFL head coach and AFC OC and both seem impressed with what he’s doing on offense. Their points per play are strong. This year we should find out how much the poor OL is handicapping him. A retired college HOF coach that I know and knows him says it has. But Taylor is no different than Belichick at 38. Except Taylor got to the Super Bowl sooner and had a much quicker turnaround.
