During last season, a lot of local media members, Dehner especially, that the front office legitimately thought the team already had playoff talent on it. Taylor most likely said he could win with the current roster and wouldn't need to make any major changes. Then reality hit and the team realized they needed to make major changes. Now we have to wonder if we have the right coach to lead a revamped roster.
I don't know if that's true or not but it's entirely feasible (although likely would've centered around Dalton). But if it is true, it means this almost certainly won't be Taylor's last year here. We still have NYG, Miami, WFT, not to mention Jax on the schedule, and likely will finish with 3 or 4 wins, IMO. That might get most coaches fired in two years, but if the front office really discovered how little talent they have after Taylor's first year, they'd likely see it as a 2 steps backward to take 3 steps forward scenario. In that case it would be foolish to hire a coach for the 2 steps backward and then ditch him for somebody else for the 3 steps forward. Don't get me wrong, ZT was probably the wrong hire (I wanted Bienemy then too), but we'll win just enough games to keep ZT around for one more year of rebuilding.
