I think the Bengal fan base remembers his first two years and can’t get past that. Taylor has never been an OC ( briefly interim at Miami) or head coach. Pete Carroll and Sean Payton are considered great coaches. They’ve won a Super Bowl but only played in 1. Taylor engineered this turnaround. Not to minimize Duke Tobin or Lou Anarumo but Tobin wasn’t considered some FO guru ever. Lou was handpicked by Zac. Duke’s better with Zac. And Duke has done great lately.
Taylor can lead a team and an organization. Lots of great head coaches aren’t great leaders. That said Taylor is not near where he’s gonna become.
Great post and well said Soonerpeace. Zac is like the glue to all of this.
The one thing that stood out to me the most when the FO picked him was that everyone he worked with, McVay, the players, the
coaches, all said Zac Taylor was a great communicator and I think this has finally shown through. Just scratching the surface.
Discipline is there too, we were the least penalized team in the league FFS!
