I think you already disliked Zampese so you see his first year as OC as proof he is a "lapdog" who is "in over his head". Yet Hue's first season was just about the same yet you thought it was morepromisisng just because you liked Hue.
Really not a lot of differeence between Hues first year as a Bengal OC and Zamp's.
It i so hard to give a guy a fair evaluation after one year as an OC. Look back in time and many would have said Bill Belichick was the worst head coach of all time after his time with the Browns. Same for Pete Carroll after his early years as a head coach and DC prior to Seahawks hire.
I did not see offensive scheme issues as an issue a year ago, I saw bad OL execution, I saw new receivers replacing experienced, I saw AJ Green and Bernard get hurt and not play and I saw a kicker killing us and putting us in dire straights with missed kicks. I saw Eifert hurt a lot of the year. The OC can't control bad injuries nor can any coach. There is a reason one guy makes 16 million like Green and a guy like LaFell makes 2.5 million.
I am not ready to throw our OC under the bus for a year we knew would be challenging due to the losses of Jones and Sanu.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
