Many times regime change results in immediate and dramatic improvement. So there is nothing really toxic about regime change.
In the case of the Bengals things got much worse when the new regime arrived. It is hard to blame players who care about winning for being upset with the new regime. It wasn't like any of the coaches had any record of success that would give the players hope or give the coaches something to point to when trying to convince these players that they knew what they were doing.
Posting depth chart with the starting player in 3rd. That same player who was not only a solid contributor on the field but was a team captain and public liaison. That's pretty weak and disrespectful. Same with the Dalton situation. Playing Geno out of position. Same crap.
Hey I get it. They have a winning record now, but Zac and company did a piss poor job of handling those vet players while on roster.
It just seemed pretty unprofessional even if it wasn't future"Zac guys". Especially from a HC that had zero track record in real leadership.
I can't blame any of those players to be bitter somewhat.
AJ should've not been tagged. That was on management there.
WJIII is the only one I can see why. What a joke.
