Marvin was the "architect" of the greatest defense ever and was already respected in the league. A lot of people thought he was capable of turning around Cincinnati, which he obviously did. His hiring was perceived well back then.
The narrative is already being started that Taylor is only getting looks because he works with McVay. Not saying Taylor getting a ring is do or die for his next chapter, but I think having a ring would help build clout for his new team and command respect easily vs a guy coming in that is an unknown and only has "turned around Jared Goff on his resume".
Bengals will benefit heavily from having a McVay influence in their scheme next year as most of the talent is already in place with Mixon, Gio, AJ, Boyd, Ross. Bringing back one of or both Uzomah & Kroft is important as well.
But as already mentioned Bengals will need to heavily invest in OL or find better solutions. An OL can be elevated based off the scheme too. Rams OL isn't loaded but destroyed that Dallas defense all night.
