How has team done since the Bengals all time HC leader in wins left?
The ML hate is over the top still by some even when the facts say in comparison to the new guy, he is a HOF coach.
The new guy inherited an old, declining, outdated NFL roster that had a nearly bare cupboard as far as up and coming talent was concerned. There's a reason ML had 3 straight losing seasons, each one worse looking than before.
Oh... and ZT inherited a backup caliber starting QB in Andy Dalton. It's not like he had a guy leading the team who was capable and outstanding at the job. It wasn't Aaron Rodgers back there... It was a guy who was buoyed by the extreme talent around him his whole career. Once that declined, the QB absolutely tanked.
The quick hook people want to give coaches and QBs is just astounding to me. 3 or 4 seasons for a brand new HC isn't an outrageous ask. Especially given how bad the drafts were leading up to his hiring.
