The Bearcats were the 123rd scoring offense in the entire nation and his playcalling left a lot to be desired. Hopefully he's developed and grown since then, but I definitely have some trepidation if he's the hire.

I worry a lot about the trend of hiring coaches from teams where the HC is really the OC, and the other offensive coaches get the credit just by being around them.

Taylor was also interim OC with the Dolphins in 2015 for the last 5 games after Lazor was let go.
The offense in those last 5 games averaged 17 points a game.
That's actually lower than what Bill Lazor had in that season, which was 20.45 PPG.
For those last 5 games, the Dolphins had all their key offensive playmakers (Tannehill, Landry, Parker, Stills, Miller, Ajayi).
I'm less confident with Taylor than I would be with Bieniemy, but hopefully Taylor's learned a lot while with the Rams the past two years and would alleviate my doubts.
