"Our fans wanted a fresh new direction two years ago, and that is what we aimed to do in hiring a bright, energetic head coach in Zac Taylor."
It is well known Brown did not want to fire Lewis after the 2018 season and did so reluctantly. This statement and lack of any major moves after this season feels like Mike Brown saying "You asked for it now live with it"
God knows the guy doesn't know what it's like to run a winning organization so he's doing what he's always been doing since taking over the Bengals.
I just find it complete BS that every other team in our division made the playoffs and we weren't close to competing and yet keep things status quo going into 2021 season.
I don't take this as spite. I take it as him reminding folks that he hired a young coach that he's not ready to fire yet. I think he knows that public perception is that Zac is in over his head and needs to go, and he's reminding us that he listened to us as fans a couple years ago, so he's not quite ready to listen to us on this one yet.
I think if you consider it that way, really he was trying to prepare everyone for the rest of the statement, which was basiically that ZT is staying.
I think were and are close to competing based on watching us play competitive football. We're closer than people think.
