If I'm being honest, as much as I like the Zac Taylor hire, it's in the back of my head that maybe Mike wanted these guys because they're cheap. There isn't a single guy on this staff that couldn't be had at a discount rate. All of them (except Duffner) have weak (or light) resumes for the position they were hired to. All the way up to Zac Taylor himself.
That's why I'm looking forward to free agency. If we cheap out with typical Bengals inactivity, it will tell me all I need to know. If we spend like a team coming off 3 straight losing seasons with a new HC and plenty of cap space, maybe there's some real hope. Even then, it's an ongoing thing. Ultimately, I think Mike is who he is. He's changed a lot less than people think.
The only hope is that Katie is much better once the old man is out of the picture.
I think that’s in the back of most of our minds. I think we all have suspicions that they wanted to hire the cheapest and most submissive head coach candidate. The guy who won’t try to change the way the organization operates.
