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.

It's definitely unprecedented change from the past decade and a half.

Will it be good change? Or bad change? Time will tell.

The con is that the same management team is still in place.
