Zac should not be done, we need to collectively temper our absolutely wild expectations. We picked first overall this year for a reason. Burrow is the man, but he can't be the only one. And given the line play I've seen these last few games, I'd almost prefer (if we pick that high) to get either a defense end or even a WR.
Zac has done a good job getting the team to rally behind him. He's done a good job in the draft and building the team. But when it comes to X's and O's he is being out coached. Plain and simple. He has 4 wins in 1.55 years. He has 1 win in 10 games against our division. Top players from the previous regime have under-performed under his leadership.
Like I said, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as the Ravens and Steelers are good teams. However, if he can't show any improvement in his game plan next time they meet.. if I were in charge I would cut bait and look for a coach that is better when it comes to game planning and calling plays. Our team overall is on an upward tragectory; I don't want to see poor coaching hold us back.
At some point you need to stop making excuses for the guy and start holding him accountable.
Edit:
I don't think it's a wild expectation for Zac to coach well enough to keep us in the game against the Steelers and Ravens. Heck, the Cowboys almost beat the Steelers due to good coaching. Zac's game plan made it look like we didn't belong on the same field as the Steelers. He's not getting it done. I don't know how else to say it.
I will allow him the opportunity to learn from his mistakes. Let's see how he does the rest of the way. If it were me in charge he'd be coaching for his job from here on out. We shouldn't settle for poor coaching.
