Specifically it dealt with the Frank Pollack issue.  I had assumed that he was the one that wanted to leave, but it turns out that it was the other way around: 

"But showing how committed Bengals president Mike Brown is to giving Taylor what he wants, he let Taylor hire his own line coach even though management loved Pollack and he had a year left on his deal.

Taylor admires Pollack, too. They had the same college coach. Bill Callahan. But Taylor is a stickler for communication and he wanted someone he knew well for that job. Turner, a colleague at Texas A&M and Miami, was his first choice and he got him. You’ll see the outside zone again, but the way Taylor wants it."

It shows me how intentional Taylor is and how confident he's going to get what he wants.

I know my opinion has been flipping in the breeze but count me as convinced of how well this guy is going to turn out.

Loved why Taylor picked Casey as the new TE coach.

We're headed into the unknown brother, of course opinions will change as new information comes along.  That's learning as you go, in anything.  People who can't form and change opinions based on information presented to them and then having updated information are shortsighted.  I initially didn't like the hire either.  I didn't like Pollack leaving.  But as I delved into deeper, and now this, I can at least understand the move.  I'm warming up to it.
