Zimmer in the hot seat

Why must we always look to former coaches and players when we have a hole to fill?

Whether it's bringing back Marvin as GM, bringing back Gruden as OC, bringing back Peko for depth (Things I've heard this just this week), we always seem to want to bring back people with history here.

This strikes me as incredibly lazy.  With a franchise riddled with a history of nepotism (Brown family, Bill + Duke Tobin, Carson + Jordan, etc.) I don't like recycling familair faces.  There's already enough familarity in the front office.

As great as Mike Zimmer is, we never won dick with him here.  Would that change now?  I don't know.  But I do know that this type of move would a typical Bengals move.  And the Bengals typical make lazy and unsuccessful moves.

I don't mind if they hire someone not previously affiliated with the team.

On the other hand... we now have this newbie shit show.

Please bring in an outside coach that has got a little clout and track record of success for crap's sake.

Good Lord.   Zac Taylor and his drinkin' buds.  Now I need a drink!
