In 2001, the Patriots started 0-2 (one of those losses to the Bengals, BTW) but went on to finish 11-5 and Bill Belichick went on to be one of the greatest coaches in NFL history.

Now, is Zac going to have the same career trajectory? I very highly doubt it. However, can you imagine how STUPID it would've been for the Patriots to show Belichick the door after starting 0-2 in his 2nd season?

In 1994, Bill Belichick won a postseason game as HC with the Browns.
In 1997, Bill Belichick was the DC for the 6th scoring defense.
In 1998, Bill Belichick was the DC for the 2nd scoring defense.
In 1999, Bill Belichick was the DC for the 9th scoring defense.

In 2015 Zac Taylor was the interm OC for the 27th scoring offense.
In 2016 Zac Taylor was the OC for the 123rd out of 128 scoring offense in college.

Zac Taylor has never had success running an offense at any level. His main claim to fame is briefly working for Sean McVay. He was the ASSISTANT wide receivers coach in 2017 for the Rams, and then he was the QB coach in 2018 for a QB who in 2017 had already posted a 100.5 QB Rating and went to the Pro Bowl.

Zac Taylor seems like a nice guy, but has never run a successful offense before, got promoted too fast, and he's in WAY over his head.
