Since Zac arrived:
Name free agents are coming
Practice bubble
Ring of honor
Multiple deep playoff runs

This does coincide with burrow, but name me another combo of essentially rookie HC and rookie QB that has had this much success this quick.

In the nfl world, most of the tim, its  the combo that makes the great teams.  

Let’s also not kid ourselves into thinking Cincinnati has ever, in my lifetime,  been a destination job for the best proven candidates either, for many reasons.  Zac may have changed that in the future as well.

The entire offense were not world beaters in the playoffs. Defense flipped another of games, and Evan hitting the last minute field goals. Burrow and Chase we world beaters prior to wearing orange and black. And the since he arrived thing is a bit off. Remember, we sucked bad enough to draft Burrow and then to draft Chase. Neither were rookies in the playoffs and even Zac wasn't in his sophomore year. 

I think you meant to say big name free agents, but I don't think any were big names, at all. Collins and Apple washed. Respected, good players like Hill and Hendrickson, but no one imagined what they did. Did a number have a big impact? Absolutely, but let's not act like we got top ten free agents signed. Nick Scott can go be a parking lot security guard.
