Is it truly lazy to hire a coach who was viewed as a top candidate for OC by multiple different teams?  Especially one that is already well respected by his colleagues, his players, and media (dealing with media is part of the job)

It's fair to note that Pitcher was just a scout who never had any coaching experience outside of the Bengals. How much is he riding off of Burrow's coattails as QBC? His work with the wideouts wasn't overly impressive.

It's fair to look at his resume and note the lack of depth in his coaching experience. 

I don't think this changes the offense at all. Especially if QBC is replaced from within. We'd have less experience on the Offensive side then we had in the previous 5 years under Zac. And the Offense staff never had anyone who coordinated in the league (full time) to begin with.

Cali at least worked with a number of top qb's before coming here. He was young, but experienced.
