Zak needs 1 more year to change culture

I am not saying cut ZT lose, but if you look at ML progress versus ZT progress early in their Bengals careers, ML is way ahead. We have a a very weak rest of the schedule, 5-2 is possible and 4-3 should be expected. If that does not happen, then why should team give Zac more time? Does a 2 win and then a 5 win (assuming he only goes 3-4) coach deserve anything?

The weird thing about this team is they seem to like each other and appear to give it 100%. At least the young guys do, Green, Dunlap and Geno being the major exceptions, the high paid guys so go figure?

Agreed. I think one major difference though is that Marv inherited a damn good offensive line....whereas Zac got 3 bums, an unknown in Williams, and a decent guy in Hopkins. You saw how bad this team was offensively without a Joe Burrow under center. It was unwatchable. 2018 wasn't much better.

I'm with you, if he can't win 3 more games, then see ya. I have liked the direction the offense has taken since the line has gotten a tad better, and with the mobile JB.  Last year, you couldn't really open any of the playbook up. The line was that bad....and the QBs couldn't get out of the way.
