1. Playoff capable.
2. 8-8 capable.
3. Able to improve a terrible team.
4. Complete trash.
Right now the Bengals’ coaching staff is about 3 1/2 on this scale.
I would add another tier - perennial contender
It's one thing to be playoff capable, but it's another to consistently push for conference championship games year after year.
Marvin Lewis was playoff capable, but he wasn't quite good enough to push for true contending year after year.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
