I don't know how much the lousy defense was Lou and how much it was the lousy draft picks. I'd loved to be a fly on the wall as the draft boards were constructed in recent years in order to discern how much input the coaches gave into the draft picks and whose to blame for those picks. Regardless, it was clear that something had to happen on defense and the OL side of coaching. My suspicion is that, given the small scouting department, the coaches were also responsible in a large part for the lousy drafting. We might not only improve the defense and OL but also the drafting.
The coaches have a lot of input in who they like in the draft and free agency. I’m sure Tobin weighs his scouts opinions, Zac, and the position coach. The secondary issue was losing Bates & Bell. The collapse started then. I’d bet Zac wasn’t told who to fire but that the defense was bad. The OL geez it’s amazing the #30 ranked OL and Zac had the #6 offense.
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.
