The funny part is he might be right, if not for Mike Brown.

Some other teams put their coach on the hot seat after some SB appearance followed by a year or 2 of mediocrity.

Here? Well, Zac likely has 6-7 years or grace.

Gentlemen and Ladies, I have been waiting for a post where I can display my charming wit and yet passive aggressively take a cheap shot at a fellow Bengalholic for a misspelling.

So here it is:

I know this list is ridiculous, because how can our HC be ranked behind the OC of Rams? What is this world coming to? And on and on with the cheap shots at Housh.

But in all seriousness, a top-10 list that does not include Zac Taylor and Dan Campbell makes no sense. Mike Tomlin aka Barry Switzer, still feeding off Cowher leftovers?

Zac is not going anywhere

Whilst, generally I might agree, Bengals are only 1 year removed from a 2nd straight AFCCG appearance. Last year, Burrow was injured most of the year yet still we ended up with a winning season. I don't know of any team that would have a coach on a hot seat so soon after a AFCCG let alone a team that notoriously doesn't fire HC even after multiple disastrous seasons.

Doug Pederson actually won a Super Bowl, with a backup QB. He was let go, too.

Zac probably has a lifetime contract here. The only way I see him being fired is after 5 or 6,  2-15 seasons after Burrow, Chase and Higgins are gone to other teams. If Mike Brown has one thing he has patience with head coaches maybe too much patience.

In five years Zac has taken the team to two ACCCGs, an AFC Championship, a Super Bowl, won the AFC North twice, has a post-season record of 5-2. Anyone that thinks he's on a hot seat is smoking crack. Most of the other franchises in this league would kill for that.

Exactly.  Not sure I would include him top 10 X's and O's but leading a team is a strength of his.  You have to have respect to be a leader and from everything I've heard from the players  they respect ZT. 

Just like any job, if you respect who you work for you will go above and beyond for them.
