How Much Power Does ZT Have?

I was not upset by the hiring of Taylor, but it got worse with the shabby inexperienced staff they built around him and then went farther downhill when we did nothing in free agency to help improve the talent level of the team.

I am actually willing to ay Taylor will not be to blame if the Bengals suck this year but McC is insisting that every single decision about the coaching staff and the roster was 100% Taylor's doing.  So if things do go south he will have to admit that it was 100% Taylor's fault.

I never said that at ll.  What I actually said(not that you will acknowledge it or even care) is that he has exactly as much power as he wanted.  I never said he got or even asked for all the power.  I'm saying he took the job because he got to do things the way he wanted and I'll stand by that. 

I'm sure he doesn't run the whole organization, but I do believe that he did get to call the shots that mattered to him, such as what coac hes stay or go and who his final roster will be.  Does anybody really think it was MIke's idea to pay almost an entire staff to not work for him?   How hard is it to see that?

I don't know who made the calls on free agency but I do know that there were really slim pickings out there in our areas of need unless you were willing to throw crazy contracts at guys who didn't really merit them.

I don't see what's so outrageous about that or how it is any way a jab at Marvin.
