Sigh...unfortunately, no. There are some Wendy's locations in New Zealand and Indonesia, though.

He's really good at brown nosing.

I say we all chip in and get Zac Taylor a nice mug to welcome him.

[Schmitbuck]

Give me my dream job and a salary 4 times or more of what I'm currently making and I'll say whatever you want me to in the media. :)

Nothing to see here.

Taylor raved about Bengals owner Mike Brown and said Brown wants to win more than anything. He said the relationship was something different because he talks to him every day and doesn't think there are many owners that basically have an open door policy. "Can you imagine (taking a step back)? It’s something you done every day of your life. I would never want to walk away from it. I wouldn’t want it any other way," Taylor said. Taylor said he didn't know how many coaches talk to their owner every day, but said his previous experiences were different. "The two I worked for previously didn’t live in that city," he said. "Obviously probably not talking every day if you live elsewhere. And they were great owners. But they lived elsewhere."

Well, Taylor wasn't more than 5 or 6 years old when Mikey boy systematically dismantled a proud franchise and turned it into a laughing stock of all of professional sports.

All I have to say to Mike Brown is that you better hope you father isn't waiting for you on the other side.

Zac likes Andy as a starting QB: "See I told you Andy was great; everybody doubting Andy can now suck an egg".

Zac likes Mike as an owner: "Zac is an idiot; everybody that liked the hire can suck an egg".

Lol, I’m seriously starting to doubt this Taylor guy. Guess I’m the idiot I wanted this guy back in November. I don’t like any of his hires so far n free agency has pretty much stunk with the Hart signing as the cherry on top. Maybe I was wrong about Marvin after all. Or maybe the plan is to suck for QB Lawrence.

[HarleyDog]

I understand the anger and frustration steered to Troy because he has been part of a bad FO for years, and his statement was ridiculous. ZT doesn’t deserve the same focus as Troy just because he said he liked working with MB. Can’t judge him for poor results with this team until he actually earns it. And when is it not the proper thing to do be kind to the guy who signs your paycheck?

I'm not ready to say he's going to be a 100% failure, but I see a lot of red flags all over this.

We might find that Marvin Lewis was actually a genius that figured out a way to be semi-successful in a broken structure. 

[RunKijanaRun]

Yeah, so this is how he got the job.

I'm a little less optimistic about him than I was before.

Pfft...

We'll have picked him apart by OTAs.

[Brownshoe]

Lol I don't see how everyone can get their panties in a bunch about things like this. Who cares? He is never going to shit talk his boss to the media, and for all you know he could be doing this to gain favor and have more leeway with the team. I'm still skeptical about his coaching ability, but the only thing that will affect the way I see him is the product he puts out on the field

I can't even count the number of people I knew who WANTED SO BADLY to be famous actors or musicians or something, yet didn't take a single acting class, or write a single song, or blah blah blah.

Actions speak louder than words.  If Mike Brown WANTED to win at all (much less so badly, for serious you guys) he would have hired a GM after the Akli Smith debacle.  

Exactly !

I don't doubt for a nanosecond MB wants to win. But it's not his stop at nothing, have to have it at any cost, deep down in his heart and soul burning desire.

Like you say if he was prepared to do "whatever" it took he would have hired a GM back in the 90's. Fired ML after 08 or 10. Got rid of the piano man well before he did and on and on and on.

The narrative for years now has been nobody will ever get out of MB what ML did. Here's to hoping ZT can.  :andy:

All owners want to win. The resources they are willing to invest towards that goal is what separates them.

Oh I agree,

I'm not putting ZT down for saying what he did, I do believe Mike wants to win. But we're waaayyyyyyyyy past the point with MB that he has to put his money where his mouth is.

And using good old fashioned common sense. 

"Ok, I've been the defacto GM for a dozen years now or whatever, perhaps I should let someone else try" ?

Nobody in this country wants to watch this FO shit show in the U.S. anymore.

Speak for yourself. I, for one, would hate it if he took the team elsewhere, and I am pretty sure I'm not alone. There are 31 other teams you can go root for..... no one is making you be a Bengals fan.

I do speak for myself.

It's ingrained from me to be a Bengals fan from a child and nostalgia point of view.

As far as the ownership and their buddies I couldn't give a rat's ass about them.

They deserve about as much respect from me as an internet poster...  probably...  no, most certainly... less.

Can you blame people?

The 90's this franchise was HORRIBLE and he hasn't won a playoff game since he's been the owner - 27 years and counting.

How dare people not listen to how bad he wants to win!
