I’ve seen so much fire Zac Taylor and Callahan talk the last few days I wanna vomit. Without Zac Taylor, there would be no Lou Anarumo, or most of the coaching staff. Possibly not burrow or chase or higgins. Definitely no Hendrickson cause the way they got him was so uncharacteristic of the Bengals I almost fell over when I heard about it the first time. Who is still in if they win the next 2 games? Maybe unlikely but maybe they find a way under center or something that benefits jake browning and the run game takes off who knows.
I know we had a good chance at another super bowl with Burrow. That doesn’t mean the sky is falling and everyone needs fired and traded. So pathetic to hear all that garbage
Literally none of this is true. Lou was the Giants d backs coach prior to being our DC. The talk at the time of his hiring was that Taylor was having an incredibly hard time finding assistant coaches and was scraping the bottom of the barrel bringing in Callahan and Lou. There is almost no chance Lou was the FO or Taylor’s first choice.
They may not have landed Burrow if Taylor didn’t go 6-25-1 in his first two seasons? Sure? But if you give him that, you are either saying he was so terrible those first two years they landed the top pick, or the FO was committed to a tank job in which case why would you give Taylor credit?
Hendrickson was not considered a premier free agent at time; there was a lot of discussion on if the team should have instead brought back Carl Lawson for the same kind of money. I haven’t seen anything to suggest Taylor instituted some kind of change of heart in the FO. If anything, that is a Blackburn move.
I’m not even suggesting people need to be fired, but I think you are giving props where none are due.
