Zack Taylor is One of the Worst Offensive Minds I've Ever Seen

I would lay all the blame there as well. Interesting anecdote...well I think it is interesting since it is mine...but it has to do with Katie as well as the hiring of Zac Taylor. My physician was a team doctor years ago, and I happened to be getting my annual physical with him in 2019 right at the time where Marvin was let go and Zac hadn't been hired yet. I asked him if he had any insight into who they might hire, and his answer was "The cheapest one." 

So as we continued talking, I told him I notice a lot of people on message boards and some of my friends hope that things will change when Katie takes over completely and Mike is out of the picture. I expressed my doubts that anything will change with her and He totally agreed. He said her and Mike are nice people, but everything is done on the cheap and Katie is her dad's daughter. 

As an example, he then tells me the story of one year working the draft combine. He tells me, "It's long boring days for the team doctors, and one of his colleagues went back to the hotel at the end of the day and dialed up a movie in his room...Not a porn movie, just a movie. Well a month later, this guy gets a bill from Katie for $6.99 or whatever the movie cost. Dude quit right then."

That convinced me that nothing is going to change until the team is sold to another owner. I really hope I am wrong and the spending this offseason is an indication of future dealings, but as he said, they hired the cheapest candidate and the cycle continues. I was as excited to see Burrow this year as I have been in any year which goes back to the Super Bowl years, but the way they blew off the line and then seeing how poorly they have played so far makes me think his talents will go to waste unless they decide to spend money on the staff and players he needs to support winning. 

All of this sounds plausible.
