With that said, I'd take Marvin's first two years over Taylor's, as Marvin had 16 wins whereas Taylor has had 6.5 in the same span.
I feel this is a make-or-break year for Taylor.
He needs to turn his vision and philosophies into production.
He can be aggressive on 4th down and bench underperforming/disgruntled vets, but it really doesn't matter if it doesn't result in more wins.
The FO probably won't keep him unless he gets at least 6-7 wins.
Also, there should be a few HC candidates potentially ripe for the picking next offseason:
- Eric Bieniemy (He may not fully operate the offense, but Reid has spoken highly of him)
- Matt Eberflus (Has done a good job with Indy's defense)
- Byron Leftwich (Runs a high-powered passing offense with TB)
Greg Roman is also potentially appealing, but he might want to turn the offense into a run-oriented one like he's done with BAL.
Exactly
I've never really considered going for it on 4th a good measure of a coaches aggressiveness, quite often that's born from desperation. And that was the case nearly all the time with ZT.
