MichaelWeston Posted January 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/12/06/zac-taylor-rams-press-taylor-eagles-head-coaches Zac as HC, Press as OC. Atleast the offense would be good. Would need a stud DC. And we don't know a thing about how Zac would be as a HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted January 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Some assistants he is connected to from Miami days Joe Philbin (was HC and interim in Packers land this year) Darren Rizzi (currently still STs coach and AHC) Bill Lazor (Taylor took over for Lazor as OC) Kevin Coyle (DC why he was the Qbs coach) Mark Duffner (LB coach while he was Qbs Coach) He has some tangential connection to Todd Bowles who could be a strong DC. Mike Sherman (Montreal Alouettes HC) is his father in law The more I look at this tree the more I realize Dan Campbell could be HC with Taylor as OC potentially, and we are getting the stern organized disciplinarian the team needs and a stud OC.

You say “stern disciplinarian.” I say “meat head.” Those guys don’t have staying power. The days of Bill Cowher and Tom Coughlin are behind us.The easiest formula for success starts offensive minded HC. One of the Bengals problems over the last ten years has been the revolving door at OC. An offensive-minded HC solves that problem.Sent from my iPhone using Go-Bengals.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostInDaJungle Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 If Taylor was with A&M from 2008-2012... Wouldn't this be a guy that knows Andy Dalton well?

JC Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 His father-in-law is Mike Sherman who coached for the Pack and Texas A&M (where he hired Taylor). Sherman coaches the Alouettes now in the CFL which has Manziel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SF2| Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 So a guy with limited college offensive coordinator experience whose dad has been relegated to coaching in the CFL is a serious contender? What could go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could go wrong? I addressed your points in the other thread. I hear you being your usual skeptic self, but there is no one path to a good (or bad) head coach. My posts in the other thread: John Harbaugh’s resume didn’t look all that impressive when ravens picked him either. Special teams coach for the Eagles. Tomlin only had one year as a d-coordinator when picked. Just saying. No idea if he will be anywhere near as good as those two have been, but thin resume doesn’t bother me. Sam Wyche’s resume was hella thin too before he was hired. Point is, either you have what it takes , or you don’t. I don’t think there is any one path to success as head coach. David Shula sucked because he was terrible, not because he had wrong experience. Wyche worked out because he absolutely had the creative flair and personality to succeed, none of which you could fairly see coming off of one year head coaching at IU and anonymous asst coaching in NFL for years before that (learning under Bill Walsh). Taylor may be a disaster, but, he could also be quietly inspired. At least he isn’t Gase, or Hue, or Joseph, or some other warmed over more of the same coach. This team and org needs shock paddles. Taylor is at least that. And if he is an abject disaster, then maybe in two years when he is fired he gifts the new coach with the #1 pick in 2021 and we get the Clemson qb. But this is as interested as I have been as a bengals fan in a long time, in any event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeaverHunter Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 We all wanted Marvin gone....now the Bengals are being proactive and "planning" on hiring a young innovative coach, who has been around young, innovative, offensive minded coaches. On top of that, we have a back who (I think) is just like Gurley. They were able to optimize his skill set in L.A. Plus we have a lights out receiver (for a couple more years) that he can utilize. I think this choice is a great one. It checks a majority of the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saphead Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I just want a young and energetic coach. I don't want an old man waddling out there clapping and so forth that way, with a thousand yard stare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENGALS666 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Well the guy has lived football his whole life - and he isn't Marvin or Hue. That's what I know of him in its entirety. Play ball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First year assistants generally don't go on recruiting trips. He's probably familiar with Dalton being part of a rival team, but that puts him behind just about any coach in the AFC North.
