I'm guessing this hire was based more on the idea that this franchise is run like a Mom and Pop hardware store than them actually reviewing all the potential candidates, and determining that Ken Zampese has the most potential for success.

I think he was hired because he has been around the organization for awhile, knows the offense, is familiar with Dalton, and has had success as a quarterback coach for the Bengals. What's wrong with continuity and staying with what has made you successful? 

It was unrealistic, and in my opinion stupid, for this organization to go out and hire someone not familiar with the offense and to have to bring them up to speed. 

Its one thing if we were in the bottom half of offense in the league, but we were in the top 10. Why mess with it?
