Yet to just give him all the credit on the teams turnaround and ignore Katie's contributions is crazy. We've all been around long enough to know the Bengals never spent much money on FA's until she took over.
It seems to be a happy marriage between Zac and Katie. Although who knows, the Giggler may have gotten us there as well if was afforded this much of a monetary leash in FA.
Still believe Zac will grow into a great coach. Yet much like the Bengals fans want a SB win desperately, it will take that SB win for Zac to be considered a great coach when his stories final chapter is written into the books.
Hoping he succeeds but will always credit the FO as well for changing their mentality.
I agree, Katie isn't getting enough credit, but with outsiders like the guys in this video acknowledging it, maybe people are finally beginning to see. I'm not sure that Katie cares, and probably likes being in the shadows, so to speak, but she deserves some praise. Without her and her daughters, we likely still don't have a Ring of Honor, wouldn't have the stadium upgrades coming, wouldn't have stadium naming rights to generate funds, wouldn't have the fan engagement and social media presence, and Ken Riley likely isn't in the Hall of Fame. They put a lot of effort in behind the scenes and on social media for the push to get him to Canton.
