But when ALL THE PLAYERS are doing poorly it is the coaches instead of the players.
Do any of you realize how long it would take to re-create a entire 53 man roster?
At first I was thinking it was the player but the more the season moves along the more I see the main issue, coaching.
Looking back at last year, the offense was effective, not perfect but was what kept the Bengals in the game as the defense was horrible. Once ML took over the defensive play calling it was to late into the season to really fix the defense. He did what he could and helped stop the bleeding.
IMO, when it comes to planning and coaching up players I believe ML is better than ZT. ZT got his job not because of what he did as a OC, because he has never been one for a full season, but because of what McVay team did when he was a coach within that organization.
Just because someone performs well as an employee does not mean you should promote them to the boss. IMO, ZT shouldn't have been promoted to a HC. IMO, the Bengals should have gone after an experienced OC or former HC. Than maybe bring in a young gun like ZT as the OC.
IMO, until the team cut ties with ZT I don't think the Bengals will have a winning season. I hope ZT proves me wrong, but from what I am seeing, IMO he isn't ready for the HC job. Similar to Kyle Shannan and his first going as a HC.
