Zac's Prevent Offense

What I do think is that he's so caught up in being a "nice guy", not wanting to appear to run up the score on opposing coaches, and wanting to micromanage the offense to a point that they become ineffective when playing with a second half lead. 

My suggestion would be that if you want to run the ball and eat clock, focus more on running the ball as a priority of the offensive mindset. (See Dan Campbell in Detroit for example) Bring in the physical style of OL to accomplish the goal that you want to achieve. As it stands now, when the Bengals go into slowdown mode, it's like a parody of who they really are. Step on the damn throat, let the offense score that TD that puts the lead insurmountable, dammit.

Zac has become glued to analytics with a guy available on the headset to be ready for input. But we intercepted with 4:03 left with a 21-6 lead at the Cleveland 30. Already in FG range to seal the game. An 18 point lead under 4 minutes is the goal here as they burned all 3 timeouts. Seems strategic to me. Of course he misses. But still they have no timeouts. They have to score twice and make a 2 point conversion with no timeouts in under 4 minutes. This game he was right. McPherson not making the field goal was the only flaw here.
