Then there was Zac Taylor, and the FO was like “Teah sure we like this guy” like way way into the off-season, which led to a not so good draft. Like drafting Drew Sample bad.
I remember watching the Rams in the SB vs New England that year and they already knew Zac got the Bengals HC position so it wasn’t that far into the Bengals offseason. Common for teams hiring coaches who are coming from a SB staff. He was announced on Feb 4, 2019.
They just over drafted Sample (no surprise for this FO)
