That's why I'm a little conflicted about Zac. There are things that I don't like, or at least question, about him right now...but at the same time, I would like to see him with a full offseason, another draft and free agency period, what decisions he makes about the staff, etc.

Having said that, it is a risk, because it's possible that he's just not cut out to be a head coach. Maybe I'm crazy, but I just feel we need one more year to make that determination. EVERYTHING is such a mess, there just isn't really any easy answers with the franchise right now. Definitely not going to be a quick fix no matter who the coach is, IMO. 

Without being able to peak behind the curtain of how the Bengals are ran...it's hard to know who makes what decisions. But, at some point...someone evaluated the tape from last year and was like 'We need to re-sign Preston Brown. Oh...and lets play him and Vigil in a 2 LB set. We'll be fine. We'll throw a 3rd Round pick at a LB too.'

At minimum, we need an offensive coordinator. We need defensive coaches fired. We need to sign or draft a star LB or two.

The thing that I can't get past on Taylor is the main selling point on him was that he was a young offiensive mind with a modern system. He's been a TERRIBLE playcaller though.

So then what other traits does he have that scream of him being a good HC?

re: The Zac being the OC. Being the HC of the Bengals means you need to be the PR guy. Scout. Gameplanner. Coach. And all the other stuff...

AND he decides to make himself the playcaller too! That's how naieve he is!
