Granted, Marvin obviously wasn’t the man to get this team over the hump. However, at the time Marvin was universally viewed as an exceptional hire. Nobody could have predicted what a choke artist Marvin was. But he was the right choice back then. Taylor however? An abysmal choice. The most obvious wrong choice this millennium. If Zac isn’t fired in 4 weeks? Say hello to the 90’a all over again. But not even this front office can be that stupid. Zac and his incompetent cronies are out of here in T-minus 4 weeks.....
Adam Gase, Anthony Lynn, Matt Nagy, and Zac Taylor all losing like it's going out of style and being on the hot-seat may be a sign that the whole "make a young offensive-minded guy your HC and go the McVey way!" plan was a bit of a phase that has run its course. Especially since all four of them have a sort "ruined or will ruin the new QB" stink about them.
Not only did we get caught up in the hype of template hiring, we hired a guy who was a QB coach when other teams at least had a shot by promoting experienced/successful OCs. The Jets, Chargers, Bears, and Bengals are like record labels that went all-in on disco acts in 1979...we just happened to go all-in on the crappiest disco acts to get the double-whammy of it all.
