Looks like Taylor may have learned at least one lesson

[CJD]

I liked the Taylor hiring last season. I thought we got a good one particularly because of how highly the Rams spoke of him. A lot of people attributed Jared Goff's success to Taylor, a QB that had a rough rookie year but had a really strong 2nd and 3rd year in the league, both seasons that Taylor was an offensive assistant coach with the Rams (he was the QB coach in 2018).

That kind of pedigree is just really good for a rebuilding team.

What I hated, however, was hiring BOTH coordinators that have, literally, zero experience as coordinators in the NFL. Those two, in addition to the oline coach, felt like "buddy hires" rather than hiring the best man for the job.

I wanted an experienced defensive coordinator.

We'll see how their second collective season goes. But I don't think it'd be a terrible idea to cut bait if we have a second consecutive brutal season.

Having Joe Burrow will attract some really good coaching prospects. Perhaps Eric Bieniemy (who I wanted us to hire last season) will still be available next off season and we can on board him if Taylor continues to struggle.

But until then, let's just see how we do in 2020 and go from there :).
