Plan to tank or not, the roster wasn’t good and was decimated by injuries. He inherited a bad roster and decided to go the route of bringing in new system and players to match what he wanted to do. It was never going to be pretty. It could have been better if we ran a system to match the players but even then it would have been Marvin Lewis year 17. If that’s what the fans and FO wanted they would have kept Marvin for another year. The FO and Taylor wanted to completely change things up and they did that. That kind of change doesn’t happen overnight, see the 15 times or so the browns tried it the last two decades only to fire coaches before they ever stood a chance.

Not saying Zac is the greatest coach of all time or even a success at this point, but he never deserved the amount of hate he got around here. A quick turnaround was never going to happen with the roster he inherited. He doesn’t need to make up for year one and two. He just needs to show that those years were building something. It was obvious before this year he was successfully building the right culture with the right players. Now the results are showing on the field as well. He still has plenty of work to do but it’s going in the right direction and is a PROCESS if you do it the right way for lasting success.
