The latter is WAY better, and as we are seeing with the 2020 Reds, it doesn't matter if you upgrade your roster if your coaches/managers are crap at their jobs.

Honestly the Bengals roster is okay enough to be okay, but the coaching is my #1 worry. Doesn't matter how good your players are if your OC is calling delayed QB runs out of the shotgun on 4th and Inches, and your DC is dropping your best pass rusher into coverage while the 2nd and 3rd best are on the bench in a rotation with inferior players.

I will give you Zimmer.. he had a track record.. in 2011 Gruden was unproven.. he did a good job but we had no clue back then if he would.. so it is a wash to me with OC
