In all honesty; I think Zac is an underrated coach and underrated play caller. I don't think he needs to be fired and I don't think he is the problem with this organization.
The problem is lack of talent and lack mismanagement of the roster.
I've gone back and forth on Zac since he's been here. Playing Dalton today has me thinking back to that first year and how terrible I think he was that year. Then I think the normal reaction is to say first year head coach and will learn and get better which we have improved. But that brings back the question of how much improvement is from Burrow compared to Zac? Every year we start slow and then improve on offense. This is due to adjustments being made but are these Burrow adjustments or Zac's?
I do think Zac has good qualities and is probably underrated in some regards. But what's the bar? Certainly not among the leagues best. The defense is struggling due to lack of talent and a Lou scheme that appears to be tough to pull off properly. But what about the offense? It appears you couldn't have much more talent than we have right now. I know we can point to Higgins just getting back and last week we started to show the potential. But Washington's defense is terrible and the only reason that's not a story is because they won the game. If we don't shoot ourselves in the foot playcalling we probably score TDs on every drive and win the game. Chase had a breakout but again it takes a poor secondary he can run behind. Where are the schemed plays to get him open? Where are schemed plays to get Chase Brown the ball in space. Zac is fine if he has a squad that is oozing with so much talent the other team can't compete.
