A JDR hire would have alleviated some anxiety fans are experiencing at this point. Don't know if JDR would have been the right fit with Taylor, and evidently, Taylor and JDR did not think it was a good fit. In addition another big name was still out there in Fox.
Taylor has stated (and I am paraphrasing) that he wanted coaches that are excited, fresh, and can bring out the best in the players.
I think it's fair to point out that nobody else has hired JDR, either.
...but I guess it's more fun to pretend it's just a Bengals thing.
