If Zac were relieved of duties, how hot of a coach would he be? Would you trade Zac for Vrabel? Seeing guys like Callahan getting HC looks leads me to believe that Zac would be a very hot commodity. Vrabel arguable has done more with less, but hasn’t gotten his team to a SB, let alone two AFCCG.
Just curious to where the fan base stands going into 2024.
Too many fans are negatively focused with the offense. The offense in the efficiency categories does well. According to Team Rankings only the Bills and KC have been more efficient in ‘21-22. We were 8th both years in points per play.
But the main reason Zac would be highly coveted is the reputation with the players and the culture he’s established. They talk about the locker room. The players have really spread the word how much they like playing for Zac and really the entire staff. They like how he manages them physically. Ted Karras has been effusive. Logan Wilson is a huge supporter of Zac. But the key is Zac and just relationships with the players, management & staff, and ownership.
Trust me it’s unique what Cincy has and very few teams have it at the level the culture is here. But you also have to be honest winning has to be a part of it.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
