Wasn't he hired in 2019? So wouldn't this be his 3rd year as coach? Did they not have training camp last year or in 2019? or even pre-season games?
It gets even worse, I've heard multiple people say this is first "real" offseason.
2019 - Doesn't count. He was hired a week or two later than coaches whose teams didn't play in Superbowl. (Note: Disregard other coaches who were hired at similar time, Taylor is unique.) Forget about the fact he had a normal combine, a normal free agency period, a normal draft, normal OTA's, a normal minincamp, a normal training camp, and a normal preseason. Those two weeks in January negate all of it.
2020 - Covid. Free pass. (Note: Disregard other coaches who dealt with same thing, or first year coaches like Kevin Stefanski who went 10-6.)
2021 - First full offseason.
Now it's time to see what he can really do.
