Just because..

Gram, personally, if we would've went out in 2019 and hired a head coach say like Bruce Arians, or someone who's had a years in the NFL.  Successful OC or DC.  Had a few good years as a HC in the NFL but needed a change of scenery.   I would've taken this hire and being VERY excited about it.  

Granted, when Taylor was hired, I was excited about his youth and his ability to relate to the players and todays NFL offense.  However, you can never make up for experience and I think we have seen this the past 2 years.  Already, into year 3 we've made changes to the OL and DL, as well new WR coach, lost our RB coach.  That's a lot of turn over on a coaching staff just 2 years into your reign.  

Again, back to the topic at hand, I would've been stoked if we would've hired someone like Bruce Arians to come in and take over in 2019.   I liked him as OC in Shitsburg, and I liked him in Arizona, and I still kind of feel like Arizona is ran similarly to the Bengals to this day.
