Keeping Bill Lazor Is A Mistake

Not that he shouldn't be given a chance to implement that, I'm just not sold on the idea that the best choice was the guy who just spent half a season spinning tires. End of the day, every coach is going to be handcuffed by previous coaches, positions coaches and the HC. Good coaches overcome that.

Bill Lazor is essentially the 'new blood" on the offensive side of the ball.  In his short tenure here, they have gotten rid of two healthy doses of "old blood" in Zampeese and Alexander.  To me, that in itself is huge.  Tells me that Lazor has some pretty good plans, and that the players and Marvin really believe in him.  So much to the point that Marvin went to bat vs. Mike Brown over getting rid of Alexander to keep Laxor on board.  

With all things being bizarro in the Bengals mindset, one thing occurs to me.  The players like and respond well to Bill Lazor.  Now, we know the organization is tainted, from the ownership.  But, the players have an inborn desire to win.  If they like and respond well to Lazor, and Marvin sees this and gets on board, who are we to question?
