The staff has exactly two coaches who have ever coached OL, Pollack, the OL coach, and Frazier, the assistant OL coach. The RB coach had one college coaching year as a "run game coordinator". On defense there is more cross-over with coaches having had college DC roles and multiple position groups (still thin at DL coaching) The Bengals lean heavily on their coaches for scouting, and the overall Bengals coaching experience is very thin at OL and DL.
One of my complaints about the OL is that they never seem to get better or even stay the same. Other units can occasionally hit gold with late picks and at least have a solid hit rate in the top 3 rounds. It makes me question if the team knows what they are doing. If they have bad coaching, would they even know it?
Theirs an evaluation and scheme problem. Zac needs an OL coach that can scheme the run games and scheme opponents. Doesn’t seem like Pollacks the guy
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
