When we first hired Zac I was not impressed because he did not have much of a resume and brought in a questionable staff who also lacked prior success. But even after two of the worst seasons ever to begin a coaching career I argued that he deserved another year because of all the injuries we had in 2020. I gave him a fair chance.
However I still am not 100% sold on him as a head coach. Despite making it to the Super Bowl the Bengals were far from a dominant team last year. The people in this thread who said "I don't care if he struggles" are just as bad as the people who wanted him fired after his first two seasons. Taylor has everything he needs to win it all this year, and I honestly don't expect him to "struggle". But if he does I don't give a shit how much the players/fans coo about "culture". Zac has to win games.
I agree with Fred on all points. Zac has a competitive roster, his system in place, and the expectation should be Playoffs or better.
