As for Taylor, we will see if he was the right choice. I hope he is, but then I think of coaches like Dave Shula who was young, had a great HC pedigree

In four and a half seasons as head coach of the Bengals, Dave Shula went 19-52 and became known as a failure who managed to get a head-coaching job only because his father is Don Shula

Man, I hope I am wrong. He was a very nice guy, but a very bad HC.

I mentioned the nagging feeling of being reminded of Dave Shula with the youthful hire who is leaping from a position coach to a HC overnight in another thread.  With that being said, did Dave Shula really have a great HC pedigree?  I can't imagine anyone was too surprised the guy was just a one gig HC, but I don't recall the times.
