You gave a lot of good examples and being definitive in your thoughts about Schottenheimer & NFL History you are left with a hard decision

after the 2024 season if the Bengals do not Win it all in 2024.  Year 6 will start in 2025.

Do you FIRE Zac or get rid of Burrow ?    What will you recommend seeing that you are boxed in by your conclusions ? 

Which person do you send away in 2025 before year 6 begins ?

Bringing him up didn't have the intended effect, then. He never coached again in the NFL after that year. That's 31 other owners who agreed they didn't want him as their HC, and 31 other HCs who didn't want him on their staff. 

He had Drew Brees AND Philip Rivers along with HoF weapons like Antonio Gates and LaDainian Tomlinson and couldn't even win 1 playoff game in 5 years. That's two different HoF QBs and top-8 all-time TE and RB. So yeah, my thought about Schottenheimer and his chance to win a SB if he got a couple more years in SD are pretty definitive.

I'd like to think that Burrow if he can stay healthy is a top-3 QB in the NFL right now (Mahomes, Rodgers with the same if healthy caveat, Burrow). Also one of them has a $105.25m dead cap in 2025 and the other doesn't. Not boxed in at all, it's not really even a question. If you make a shakeup, it's the guy who is both HC and defacto OC.
