With that being said, a person can learn and grow so maybe he's good now. I don't have the same fears that he is going to have to be dragged to the promised land as I did before, but also can't imagine anyone looking at the Bengals and wondering if they are awesome because of the players or the coaches, either.
How many wins with the 2019 crew does 2021 ZT get? More than 2 I guess, but I don't think he'd be awesome enough to get that team to the playoffs.
But like I said, best case scenario we got a HC who was bad enough to get us Burrow and Chase and then "figured it out" enough to never need to get another high pick again.
I mean the greatest Head Coach of all time only managed 6 wins with a pretty bad roster last year, so you still have to have the players. He just beat one of the hottest teams and past 2 year AFC champions with his players this year and we are hot right now. Getting hot right before the playoffs is huge.
