Higgins was drafted in 2020, when Walters was just an assistant WR coach.
Chase was a stud coming out of college and hit the ground running from the jump.
Tyler Boyd was pre-Walters as WR coach as well.
Iosivas does deserve credit putting up nearly 500 yards and 6 TDs as the 4th option in just his 2nd year in the league and coming in raw.
Other than that, Jones has been useless as a WR and Burton has had probably the worst season publicity-wise for Bengals WRs in the past decade+, and that includes the whole John Ross fiasco from Taylor's first year or two.
Coach will always look good if they got good players.
Until the players start underperforming as a whole unit does the coach get the spotlight on them.
Yoshi's improvement and work all came from outside the facility in the offseason away from the Bengals wr coaches.
Honestly, I don't think the wr coaches are bad at all, but that's based on the fact that they have the #1 wr & a top 10 (IMO) wr on the roster. I mean, how much playing time is the #3 or #4 option going to get? Burton, whom I was super hyped about coming out of college, clearly is his own worst enemy. Tough for me to blame a coach on a head case dude.
