Marvin came into a team that was perennially a 2-4 win team, with 8 wins being a high water mark. That team had largely the same management structure and Marvin made the team respectable. Atleast making the playoffs 7 times, when his predecessors made them 0 times under MB's ownership.
ZT was a middling OC at U of Cincy. Then he was assistant WR coach for the Rams for 1 year. Then he was QB coach last year. And people act like it's a slam dunk that the inexperienced staff he's bringing in is going to work magic with guys like Malik Jefferson, etc. Sure - there's a chance they do.
People act like Marvin was the absolute worst coach ever in football. During the regular season, that's simply not the case and one has to wonder IF he was the HC of a team that actually used free agency to do major upgrades how he would have fared.
It is quite funny to me how we cannot give our new HC love for the moves he makes and the way the team is responding to him after our last HC went to the Playoffs that many times and we never won, not once under under Marvin Lewis, 0-7.
Marvin may not of been the absolute worst coach ever in football in the regular season, actually he was pretty good in the regular season. But he was the absolute worst coach ever in the Playoffs.
