After potential DC Jack Del Rio and new #Bengals coach Zac Taylor pondered the future, both sides decided it wasn’t a perfect fit, sources say. They chatted early and made this call, instead. https://t.co/dL3DAXaZuh

Well, I think Jack Del Rio is a very solid coach.

I do like what I read, the Bengals were willing to get him.

It was Zac Taylor that didn't like him. He must of asked him how to stop certain things and didn't like what his thought process was on it.

That means that the Bengals are fully allowing him to either succeed or fail based on his choices.

Also they reported some of the questions they asked every candidate in the head coaching process.

1.) If you run a predominantly zone scheme, how do you make it look the same in a run game vs. the pass game? 

2.) What do you do if you’ve got a tight end not strong enough to block on the front side? 

3.) What do you do when you lose your stud tight end? Or your No. 2 receiver?

One it seems like to me that some of these questions were obviously digs at Marvin Lewis.

Based on the 2nd question, they didn't like the way Marvin played Tyler Eifert like a blocking tight end and feel like this ultimately led to a lot of his injuries.

The 3rd question, they obviously didn't like the way Marvin Lewis handled the injury situation last year and obviously another dig on how he handled Tyler Eifert.

Apparently, Zac Taylor is the exact opposite of Marvin Lewis.

Also reports are that he gave very detailed answers, very innovative playcalling to over come deficiencies.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of the hurry up offense and a Drew Brees type of offense this year.

My guess is Jack Del Rio's vision of what the team should be and what Zac Taylor's vision of what this team should be were just too fundamentally different.
