Mantooth's Fun Facts of the Day

(12-17-2019, 06:07 PM)fredtoast Wrote: One of the best HCs in the league, Andy Reid, was a QB coach with zero experience as an OC.

He was also the Assistant Head Coach for two back-to-back Super Bowl teams (One ring, one loss), immediately prior to taking the Eagles job.

Also noteworthy: In his two years as QB coach Brett Favre won back-to-back MVP's, both resulting in the previously mentioned Superbowl appearances.

Prior to the Assistant Head Coach and QB duties, he spent the better part of a decade as the OL coach, and later OL + TE.

Their resumes are not at all similar. The Asst HC title usually comes with a slew of benefits and responsibilities. Much higher pay, with much greater influence.

Just my 2 cents...

I wasn't counting coaches who had college head coaching experience.

Adam Jones has said the words "Scrip Club" more than any Bengal. Jim Breech is a distant 2nd.

Well I was going by the fact as posted.

However, I must say I am happy about your guy's desire to stand up for Zac. I had him as second best this year, but you guys insist on him being the best.

Homers!!

Fwiw, I am not one of those who want Taylor gone after the season. I do like the way he handles himself, handles his team (chemistry building and approach), and he seems like a all-in-all pretty good dude.

People need to consider the envriorment he walked into, and what he was given to work with. He was given no help in free agency, and I'm not so sure he's completely to blame for the staff hired. (Could be budget influenced, could be it that it shouldn't be his call anyway).

I do think he's over his head in total responsibility, as this job probably carries more duties than most. And I definitely do not want him calling plays in the future.

Surround with him two legitimate, experienced coordinators...Have him relinquish play calling duties... Look at possible position coaching upgrades... Give him a few quality free agents... And let him build his culture. Unless next year is the same then giving a couple years and sse what he can do.

He's made into too easy of a scapegoat. And people forget many of his public comments are just parroting of the FO. He may certainly share blame here for this season but it would be foolish to scrap it and start over after just one year.

PS Everyone needs to quit blaming him for Drew Sample. 30 something offensive minded coaches don't covet blocking tight ends early in the draft, after inheriting a losing roster filled with holes. I refuse to believe he was the one campaigning for that pick. That has Mike Brown and his 1970's approach written all over it!

Another fun fact: Bengals 1st round pick Jonah Williams has not given up a sack or committed one penalty all season. Move over Munoz!

Stop just making stuff up.  You know I will call you out for it.

Hang on a sec, he didn't specify what sports these were first rounders in.

Now not every baseball first rounder is going to be Kyler Murray but at least 6 North American sports have drafts (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS and Canada's T20) plus we can throw in the WNBA as well and the CFL as sports which have more than one draft. If you get 37 first rounders in a room together how many of them are going to be viable NFL players?

Fun fact! The Bengal's helmets are red not orange.. ( the reason why they look orange is because your tears are mixed with blood and booze).
Get yourself together, earn a chip, and lets go cheer for our red tigers!!
