Does he stay or does he go?

Now, I know many have wanted Zac fired since he was first hired (and props to Destro for continually calling for his firing even during our 5-2 start this year).

With that in mind, I'm curious as to how many wins it would take for YOU to re-sign Zac at the end of the season and how many wins it would take for the BENGALS to re-sign Zac at the end of the season?

For me, it's 10 wins or more. 9 if we make the playoffs and win a playoff game.

As for the Bengals, I think if Zac wins 8, maybe 7, they'll re-sign him.

What's your thoughts?

I think barring some monumental collapse where they finish with 7 wins and look bad (flat) down the stretch, Zac gets extended.  This is really his first full year with somewhat of a full cupboard.  

I think he may have to relinquish play-calling duties, and a coordinator like Lou might buy it, but if I had to bet I see them all coming back.  

I actually like the coaches.  I hope it works out with them and they can make good adjustments and get that energy back that they had the first 7 weeks.
