I wasn't a fan of the Taylor hiring in the first place, I wanted Bieniemy from the Chiefs (an actual OC, not a QB coach who was a terrible OC in college). So my opinion is admittedly a little slanted against the guy, but...
Taylor put together an absolutely horrible coaching staff. His DC is a joke, he chose the worst human being with OL Coach experience around, and he's been absolutely awful at playcalling the offense.
Could it get better? Maybe, but I am not confident. Taylor seems like a worse version of the Josh McDaniels hire by the Broncos. It's still early in the season, but I have already decided that Taylor needs to go, and there is a single point in the season where I realized this (surprisingly not the shotgun snap delayed QB run on 4th & 1, despite how terrible that was too).
The Cardinals game. The Cardinals had the worst TE D in the entire league coming into that game and all 3 Bengals TEs were healthy coming into the game, yet the Bengals didn't make a SINGLE target to a TE until THIRTY-SIX MINUTES into the game. That's not something you improve at, that's just common F'ing sense. You either have it or don't. If a team is terrible at covering TEs, you gameplan for your TEs to be a focal point. You don't ignore them for well over the entire first half of the football game.
Coaching on both sides is just horrible. From the Cardinals gameplanning, to Andrew Billings dropping back in coverage, to the shotgun delayed QB run on 4th & 1, to getting 1st and goal against the Ravens and taking Eifert OUT of the series when that's literally the only reason he should be on the team. It's just a level of common sense failing that makes me think it will never work out. It's not judgement calls that went the wrong way and could be a learning moment, it's things that 100/100 casual fans could tell you that it's a terrible idea.
Dude was a failure of a college OC, never an NFL OC, and now is a HC AND OC, and way over his head, surrounded by other coaches in way over their heads.
Burn it all to the ground and build a new coaching staff again in the offseason.
