This. I don't have stats to back up what I'm going to say, but I think that most assistant coaches end up being forgotten in a few years. Nearly every football team has multiple coaching positions that work together, with NFL teams averaging 15 assistant coaches. To think that Zac was one of these assistant coaches living in the shadow some time ago and now he has finally completed the turn around and made the Bengals a SB contender.
