I was a supporter of Zac Taylor -- until I wasn't.

I supported him through the 2-win season. I supported him through the 4-win season. In the back of mind was the comment of a poster (FredToast) that a coach needed to be given three years to implement his vision, and I was thinking of how Belichick had been let go by Cleveland. 

I was delighted the beginning of this year. But after the back-to-back loses to the Jets and Cleveland, I was devastated and lost hope. I felt if the Bengals fired him, and had to restart over, then so be it. I thought about coaches I've seen: Dave Shula (19 wins and 51 loses) and Bruce Coslet (21-39) and Dick LeBeau (12-33). 

Now, I'm so glad the Bengals have retained him and kudos to those who kept the faith. This has been one of the best seasons to be a Bengals fan.
