Until somebody points out someone definitively better on the market right now that they could've hired, I'm not going to be disappointed.

...and make no mistake, the Bengals would be getting killed right now on these exact same boards if they *hadn't* hired him, so I don't really know what the hell they're supposed to do sometimes.

I just wanted to add: JDR had name recognition, good track record, and experience which would have excited the fan base at this point. A JDR hire would have alleviated some anxiety fans are experiencing at this point.  Don't know if  JDR would have been the right fit with Taylor, and evidently, Taylor and JDR did not think it was a good fit.  In addition another big name was still out there in Fox.  

Taylor has stated (and I am paraphrasing) that he wanted coaches that are excited, fresh, and can bring out the best in the players.
