ZT is an enigma.  He's apparently very good, but also managed to get us Burrow and Chase AND he even managed to get an awesome DC in Lou after trying his damndest to hire someone else.

I think ZT is the luckiest coach on earth, but he's making the most of that luck so that's all he can do.  I still maintain that Burrow is such a franchise changing player than it is impossible to judge the actual merit of our offensive coaches as long as he's the starting QB.

Yes he got a late start and was horribly inexperienced. He was horribly taxed getting a good staff so late. The next year he had a solid draft.  they were gaining momentum but injuries were devastating. He’s put this staff together. Lou he’d always targeted but because of his inexperience was encouraged to get an experienced DC. They finally let him hire Lou. But he’s hired the offensive coaches. Turner was a disaster but it was his FIL’s cousin. But he hired the WR coach the RB coach and TE coach. But this team’s confidence, calmness, and fortitude is him and Joe. He directed Duke and his guys to go get team leaders, captains, hard working guys, and high character guys.

Taylor has grown on the job. And we are going to lose some good players but a ton are going to want to come here.

ZT stunk like a fox in his first year.  If we keep Marvin 1 year longer we go 4-12 and end up with someone other than Burrow and we're screwed.  This is probably the nicest thing I can say about ZT.  I'm willing to admit he is awesome as long as the Brown family at no point gets lax on this roster thinking he can make up the difference.  Fair?  We needed a HC who was completely in over his  head and took his lumps while stinking it up to the only 1st overall pick that has mattered since Peyton Manning.
