That statement doesn't suggest the Brown family, Duke, and Zac do not embrace continuous improvement, but I've long held the opinion the Bengals organization doesn't make needed moves soon enough. Thus far, Taylor's head coaching tenure has been the same amount of years with the Bengals, 5, as Dave Shula and Bruce Coslet. Shula and Coslet lasted a long time. Their tenure exemplifies change isn't always quick for the Bengals organization.
I'm glad Zac is the coach and would like to trust he's making sound decisions with who he keeps as assistants.
Shula set a record for fastest to 50 losses solely due to the fact that Mike Brown wouldn't fire him. Any other team wouldn't have let that drag on for that long.
Bratkowski lasted 10 years despite average rankings of 17th in yards and 18th in points.
Alexander the Poop lasted 24 years and 1,873 bottles of ketchup.
At best, these guys had some solid years. Nothing amazing. They also had some extreme lows. Overall, they were probably below average coaches at best.
Bratkowski lasted one season with the Jaguars and ranked 29th in yards and 30th in points. Never a OC again.
Alexander lasted exactly 7 games with the Cowboys. He was out of the league after that. Who fires a new position coach after only 7 games?
These guys weren't good, and we kept them around for decades.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
