As I mentioned in another thread, our offense wasn't bad but it also wasn't great. We were above average in pts/game but below average in yards/game. It just left a lot to be desired and wanting more than just "maintaining".

His work with the wideouts wasn't overly impressive. Got this from the Titans site. The Bengals offense has ranked in the top 10 in several categories each of the past three seasons: sixth in scoring (24.9), seventh in passing (250.8 yards per game), seventh in red-zone efficiency (61.5 percent), 10th in third-down percentage (41.0), and sixth in time of possession (31:00). Here's a stat that caught me off-guard. The Bengals finished 11th in the NFL in touchdowns per drive, per ESPN Stats & Info. A very strong finish despite having Joe Burrow healthy for five games. Team Rankings says only the Bills & KC have done better at points per play in ‘21-‘22. The offense shows efficiency. Few penalties. Best in the league the last several years. Nah they aren’t messing with it and why teams want some of that success
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

His only coaching experience was as a coach of a local youth basketball team in Germany. He had been boxing shoes for Nike at one point. It sounded ridiculous to me. Now he is considered one of the top coaches in the history of the NBA. You never know. Apparently a lot of teams see something in Pitcher, because he had at least three other teams interested in having him be their OC.

His work with the wideouts wasn't overly impressive. What work with the wideouts? Dan was never a WR coach for the Bengals. He was offensive assistant and then assistant QB coach and QB coach. His only work with WRs was at SUNY Cortland, a Division 3 school. Was he riding off of Joe's coattails? Well, his work with Jake says otherwise. It was the performance of the offense with Jake at QB that propelled Brian to a head coaching position. Dan was instrumental in Jake's improvement Does this offensive really need wholesale changes or tweaks to improve it? Tweaks that were put on hold because Joe was hurt for 2 months. And for those who asked, according to Zac, Dan has been deeply involved in game planning setting the offensive call sheet. He wore a headset connected to Zac and Brian during the game. Winning makes believers of us all They didn't win and we don't beleive

It's hard to judge his work, though, because we really have no idea what he was actually doing.

It’s the players on the field actually playing the game. So hire the minority coach who might end up getting you draft picks. Don’t hire some jackass. But Zac is an offensive minded coach and calls the play. If there were a coaching position on this team to roll the dice and try to play the racist NFL hiring practices game and win draft picks. It would be OC. Where Burrow is the one on the field making the audibles. Your 1st post was lacking in specifics thanks for expanding .... my personal opinion is they hire the best person for the job regardless what coaching position it is, if we hire a minority and they are successful and leaves, the benefit we got from them being successful is the real pay off, not a future pick that we don't know will turn out, on the other hand we hire someone leaning on the draft pick mentality and they are not success that hurts the team worse...

He needs to be calling plays also. Too many stretches of absolutly no points or 1st downs. Love Zac as a Head Coach but he really is mediocre at best calling plays.

One bad hire then you’re gone. Think about it. If it were you or me we’d call anybody and everybody. You can bet all the teams reached out to Joe with intermediaries and other players. They reached out to other coaches. Some fans on here give this staff a lot less respect than the rest of the league. Gonna have to win a Super Bowl to appease some of manic depressive long suffering Bengal fans.
