Zac hasn't gotten rid of guys, just to get rid of guys: he has purged the old and gone with new, who buy into the system and (seemingly) play for the team.

Results or not, players have to be super loyal and bought-in, if a coach has 6 wins over 2 years.

It's really tough to sell to fans that this would need to be a multi-year rebuild.
The Bengals have 5 straight years of losing seasons, two of which have come under Taylor.
5-season losing streak is tied for 2nd in franchise history, only behind 6 straight losing seasons 1997-2002.

Bengals need to have a winning season this year to avoid tying the longest losing streak in franchise history.
And Taylor has the worst winning percentage of any NFL coach in history, so that's another reason I have zero faith in his culture change.
I don't see enough coming from him and his staff to make me hopeful for the franchise.

About the only positive I see right now is what Elizabeth Blackburn has been doing.
