Here is the schedule that gave them the other 10:

Vikes (twice) 8-7-1
Lions (twice) 6-10
Packers (twice) 6-9-1
Cards 3-13
Bucs 5-11
Jets 4-12
Bills 6-10
49ers 4-12

Not very impressive schedule is it?  And let's be honest....Nagy inherited a top 10 defense, and was able to get most of the assistants to stay.  ZT inherited a steaming pile of crap and had to build a whole new coaching staff.

These arguments could be held against the "impressiveness" of the 2011 Bengals, as well.  At any rate, Nagy had 10 more wins than ZT...you can come up with all sorts of reasons why 2-14 is as good or better than 12-4 but I'm not seeing it.  The Bears were 5-11 when Nagy took over and they went 12-4 his first year.  ZT took over a 6-10 Bengals team and went 2-14.

Nagy > ZT

We won 1 game so far this year, let's not go overboard here.
