Changing My Mind About Taylor

The optimist in me says to just give him more time; we've lost so many games by 1 score or less and once he turns it around we'll start winning those games.

The fan who sat through all the Bengals teams from the 90s says to jettison him now and try to salvage this season with someone else (Darrin Simmons? Wade Phillips?) and then try again with the a whole new coaching staff in the offseason (assuming interim HC does not do well enough).

And honestly the pessimist in me is starting to win my internal debates.

Any other frequent Zac defenders feel the same?

He deserves to only get until the Bye, but the Bengals will give him until (at least) the end of the season.

I'd be perfectly ok with the Bengals handing interim HC duties over to Simmons, allow Callahan the ability to try to call plays, and bring in Phillips to replace Anarumo all at the bye week.
