Facts.
The thing with the Bengals is that the team uses the coaching staff to help evaluate the talent. Now this is good if the offensive coaches can see how a specific player will play into the team's scheme. This worked well with Marvin at the helm for most of his tenure as a head coach. Toward the end the gaffes resulted in his termination.
Marvin was able to use this method to help rebuild the team not once but twice. The first time was with Lesile Frazier/Chuck Bresnahan as the DC and Bob Bratkwoski as the OC. The second time with Gruden and Zimmer. After Gruden and Zimmer left the evaluation of talent seemed to fade out and it resulted in the team simply not having skill set from coaches to ensure that right players get drafted. It hurt the team and resulted in ML being fired.
With the current staff there wasn't enough time from ZT hire and his coaching staff to properly evaluate the players on the team, FA, the players entering the draft, etc...
This hurt the team coming into this year.
Let's see how the coaching staff evaluations go for next year signing their own, FA, and draft.
