Coaches can improve. Zac has improved a little. He started so damn low, though, that a little isn't enough.
The biggest change between this year and previous years for Taylor is the talent level of the roster, not the talent level of the coaching. They added two top-5 picks the last two years and spent tons of money in FA to bring in quality players.
They're 7-6 right now, but they were 5-2. They're on a 2-4 skid and have 4 games left, all against teams with winning records. Very possible they finish the season on a 3-7 streak.
I never really feel that Zac Taylor is getting the most out of his players. Nor do I feel like he's ever going to win a game via outcoaching. For every 4th and 1 delayed QB run out of the shotgun he doesn't call anymore, he now has a 3-straight-runs-and-punt out of the half, or running on 1st and 2nd down to settle for a FG in OT. He's just never going to be the type of coach that helps you win more than he helps you lose.
