Of the previous 10, 6 were fired after their 2nd year was finished, and 2 were fired during their 3rd season.
The only 2 that lasted beyond their 3rd year were Capers with the expansion Texans, and Bradley with the Jags. Neither had any winning seasons or lasted past a 4th year.
Even if you're generous and expand it to 6 wins or less in each of a coaches first 2 full seasons (which happened 24 times), it's only slightly better and that's because of Kyle Shanahan, who made it to a SB in year 3, but still has 3 losing seasons in 4 years...and Norv Turner, who lasted 7 years with the Redskins and had 3 winning seasons. The overall results are still very depressing.
This is why - IMO and despite the last 2 games - bringing Zac back is going to be a mistake, even though it's obvious he will be back. It just doesn't work out.
Agree, bringing back Taylor is a monumental mistake. It just wastes another year for Burrow. Similar to Marv, Taylor cannot
outcoach good coaches which is what we need to win in the Playoffs. Taylor is even worse than Marv record wise by a large
margin his first 2 years. Sure, Taylor has beat 2 top teams this season in the Titans and Steelers but the way his teams just
lose in close games isn't a positive to me.
I will give him reps for finally putting together 2 straight wins lol
Bottom line, if we brought in a proven HC to work with these players we would be much better off.
