I thought he'd bring some of the Rams guys with him. He didn't. That was kind of telling too.
Taylor became HC Feb 4. Flores was hired Feb 6.
Frank Reich became the Colts HC Feb 11 in the year he was hired.
2 of those guys put together good staffs. 1 hired a staff of his friends and seems to be happy with them.

Flores overhauled much of the staff his second year.
ZT got stuck with people willing to come to cincinnati and coach on a team whose best offensive player hasn't played in years and best defensive player hasn't done much other than go to Seattle.
How much of it is ZT sticking by his coordinators and how much is mike Brown and family saying 'we paid these coordinators, deal with it'? I honestly don't know. But the constant comparison to flores is apples and oranges.
