I miss Marvin

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!

Zac has a lot of learning to do for sure. 

As far as the selling point of his offensive prowess maybe not being the case, that happens with head coaches sometimes. Remember, Marvin's claim to fame was being a defensive and LBer guru, but it wasn't until Zimmer got here that the defense really became a prominent part of his team.

I do agree that he needs to turn over play calling and just focus on head coaching duties, and building his staff and roster the best that he can.
