Zac didn't inherit some grizzled team of well coached veterans who just couldn't get over the hump of winning big games, only needing a better play caller. We haven't drafted well or played great for several years. That's all stuff you fix in the off-season.
I'm willing to give Zac more than on off-season to fix it.
That's exactly how things were presented going into 2019, though. We had a win-now roster that Marvin wasn't getting the most out of with his lack of adjustments, interest in beating the Steelers, and ability to win in prime time or the playoffs. The idea going into 2019 was that we had a playoff roster and going from Marvin to ZT was going to be an instant upgrade.
We win 2 games and the roster needs to be blown up. Oh well. I don't disagree with the overall ability of this team being an issue, but you have to admit we were optimistically buying into the notion that HC was the one thing we needed to fix to be better almost instantly.
