When will Zac be fired?

Zac Taylor appears to be a very smart human being but the jury is still out on whether or not he is a smart head coach. With this current roster I believe even Dave Shula could go 9-8.

To completely fair Marvin Lewis did not take the Bengals to the playoffs until his third year as head coach. However, his first two seasons showed great improvement because the Bengals finished 8-8 in both of those years. Zac is 2-14 and 4-11-1 which is terrible and a long way from 8-8.

The question I have is how do we define success in 2021? Making the playoffs? A winning record? I have no idea what is going on in Mike Brown’s head so I don’t know what his criteria for success is.

My personal theory is Mike Brown will keep Zac employed as long as he sees “improvement.” The bar here is set very low and I think if the Bengals win five or more games Zac will stay.

If it were up to me I would have unloaded Zac Taylor after Week Two in 2019.
