And not only is it just a new HC, it's basically the entire staff. Very big thing !

Yes, the "casual" fans don't get it.  The team (The Brown/Blackburn family) entrusted in Marvin Lewis for 16 years.  That's a long time, by NFL modern standards.  So, for them to dismiss Marvin, hire a young up and comer, allow him to dismiss as much of the old staff as he wished, and bring in his own hires is big.  That's especially big by Bengals' standards.  

Gawd, I hate to use "seniority", but those of us who have been around since before the Bengals ever played in a Super Bowl are likely the only ones to really see the gravity of Marvin Lewis getting ousted in favor of the young up and comer that is Zac Taylor.  Most of today's Bengal fans weren't around for Forest Gregg or Sam Wyche.  To those fans, those coaches are just "folklore".  Here's to Zac Taylor making modern Bengal folklore, much the way Forest Gregg and Sam Wyche did.
