How Much Power Does ZT Have?

[Whatever]

I think Lincoln Riley could be a star HC in the NFL. He reminds me of McVay. No clue if he'd come here or to the NFL.
I like Matt LaFleur A LOT.
Eric Bieniemy seems like a pretty logical choice being a former player here and having OC experience with the Chiefs. But he did lack experience other than that 1 year of OC. He'd be the riskiest of the 3.

I would have been cool with adding ZT to the staff. A jump to OC under a HC who could mentor him might have been a decent move, but also a risky move still given his track record.

I was personally on record in wanting a proven winner in the NFL to come here.  I would have loved for them to get Kubiak here given he also has FO experience.  I would have jumped on Pete Carroll or John Harbaugh if they had been let go.  I would have also been good with McCarthy.

Bienemy, I was personally not high on because he got passed over multiple times for the Chiefs OC job. He basically became an OC by attrition and Reid still calls the shots.

Taylor is a wild card.  There have been tons of great coordinators that were bad HC's and there are mediocre/bad coordinators that became good/great HC's.  If Zac is better than Marvin, we should improve over last year.  Whether he is or not is anyone's guess.  We could be 2-14 or 14-2.  There's fair reasoning for both optimism and pessimism
