This was on Bengals.com. Basically it sounds like Taylor is making friends with everyone in the Bengals organization and he's easy to get along with. He'll be here presumably for 3 years...even if he goes 0-16:
Q: Is Zac Taylor to CIN what Josh McDaniels was to DEN? If he is, should the franchise get out of the contract now before he can put his fingerprints on the 2020 draft? I’m holding onto fleeting hope that 2021 will look more like 1981. Drew Bretz, Denver, CO
A: DREW: From what I have been able to gather from the scribes that covered the Broncos, McDaniels struggled with winning over people in the organization. He seemed to have a habit of souring people on every floor. Who knows? But that’s what people thought and has been reported.
Taylor is at the other end of the spectrum. He seems to have good buy-in from the coaches, players and organization. And while Taylor may not have that Belichick-Brady pedigree, he’s worked to get the respect in all corners of the building. He came out of McVay’s “value-everyone’s-job,” Super Bowl culture and he’s made a concerted effort to make himself accessible and comfortable to be around and easy to work with when it comes to personnel, marketing and everything else. The players have been behind the guy, so I don’t see this being a meltdown like that.
I’m with you on 2021 and 1981. That ’81 AFC title came in Forest Gregg’s second year on the job after a 3-9 start that first season. 2021 would be Taylor’s third season. Sam Wyche, the Bengals other Super Bowl coach, went to the postseason for the first time in his fifth season. Take away the three games of the ’87 strike and going into that ’88 season his record was 30-30.
