Pretend you are ZT and explain why the Bengals have stunk since you got there without mentioning Mike Brown, your own ineptitude (or any of the unqualified friends you were stuck hiring since you have no clout), or throwing any players under the bus...all you're left with is bs and empty words.
Let me say this, I'm guilty of using the word "hate" way too liberally. I know I shouldn't use it so much, it's a problem.
I don't actually hate Zac Taylor. I'm sure he's a decent guy, and like you said, it's not his fault he was hired for a job he's not qualified for. That said, he really does give some absolutely abysmal press conferences.
I'm not exactly expecting a performance like JFK or FDR got up there, and give a rousing, inspiring speach. Even by coach-speak standards he falls so far short.
Just a quick example: Yesterday a reporter asked "after giving up 31 points in the final 3 quarters, and allowing 370 passing yards, how did you feel about the defense?" His response was "I feel good..."
There's a lot of ways to answer these questions better, without throwing guys under the bus. Just answer "Obviously we didn't do enough on that side to win the game. We need to get better at holding on to leads and preventing scores before the half."
And he does this crap all the time. There's no emotion, no disappointment, and seeminly no accountability. No one wants to hear about you "trending in the right direction" after 3-18-1. He should know this.
He just sounds like such a dolt. I almost feel sorry for him. He has to know how stupid he sounds.
