Every person is inexperienced for their position.

Head coach
Offensive Coordinator
Defensive Coordinator

Actions speak louder than words. Zac should be measured by his decisions. His decisions for his coaching staff gets a big fat F.

He should have hired Jack Del Rio (he wanted the position too).

Zac must have zero real connections in the NFL to be pulling retread tire coaches from college football. Hey even high school football coaches from Cincinnati are in demand. I coached in Pop Warner  Can I apply to be an assistant LB  coach? 

Look at the other 31 teams coaching staff compared to the Bengals.

We have the least experienced and worst coaching staff in the NFL

Thank God the Bengals talent level is also not last.

This is starting to look like Mike Shula 2.0.

Mike was hired because of Don Shula even though he had no reason to be head coach.

Similarly Zac was hired because of Sean McVay.

I'm both situations the hiring was due to proximity to great coaches and not because of coaching merit.

Zac Taylor and his staff are a bunch of Army Privates landing on the beaches of Normandy with no senior leadership.

It's what they said about Austin, Lazor, etc., etc., etc.

The best thing the Bengals have going for them is probability. It's pretty improbably to not win a playoff game in 28+ years. We'll eventually win one...and then Bengals.com will have a Model Model v2 article about how other teams copy our model of success. People will speculate that Katie is the best de facto GM ever too. Then, we'll have a down year and people will assume that MB took over again. That's how this thing works.

Truth is...'probability' -in terms of winning a playoff game - has gotten its ass thoroughly kicked for almost 3 decades now.

"Dude, bro, did you even see that strength coach stretching that RB's hamstring out last Sunday? His technique was completely off, total hack job."

...aren't we to the point where we can transition from complaining about the coaching staff to complaining about the draft yet? At least that'd be new.

So yeah, it is indeed an eventuality based on those statistics. The fact that we haven't won a SINGLE PLAYOFF GAME defies logic.

In our 50 year franchise history we've won 5 total playoff games over something like 3 seasons. It's pathetic statistics.

Yet, when we do win one...it will be like winning a SB.

It's just a show of how downtrodden this franchise is.

It's like a guy getting called up from Double AA to the Majors in some cases.

Taylor was an assistant WR coach 1 year with the Rams then a QB Coach for 1 year...and he'll be our HC next year.

Jay Gruden was an Arena League HC then a pretty fine OC with us...so there is some precedence for the jump working.

Plenty of people work and are taught by people younger than they are even football players.  

Sean McVey is 33 and took his team to a Super Bowl
Marvin Lewis is 60 and never won a playoff game.

Zac Taylor is the least experienced NFL coach in NFL history  Take a look at his resume compared to Sean McVay or anyone else. 

Being a Cincinnati Bearcat offensive coordinator for 1 horrible year should not mean NFL ready
