I was sceptical when when they hired him at the age of 31 (I think) but the more I learn about him the more I think this guy is a very special coach. Already one of the best.. I promise you though, wp, that he will be out of the NFL and out of coaching sometime in the next 35 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the deadly combination of lack of self awareness and stubbornness. Anyone is an upgrade over that. Some Browns player described him as Michael Scott. That seemed perfect to me 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Now Moment Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 12 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: This is a bit of a surprise given he is only 35 and very little experience. But he was OC at UC a couple years ago so there is that. ? Must be a really good interviewer. And he’s connected with Sean McVay on LinkedIn so They are clearly prioritizing a guy who has a lot of experience working directly with the quarterback. Seems like a good trait to have as a HC.

Gugny Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 If one of these underqualified head coach hires works out, I bet Byron Leftwich ends up getting a HC gig next year. So far 7/8 hires have been white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not basing that comment on his age. I’m basing it on his resume. No, Mcvay was not thought of in the same way. He was actually an OC with the Redskins before going to the Rams.

I did not say that. I said McVay was thought of as a questionable young hire. He brought a fire to LA. My main point was how can we judge the guy based on his resume alone. McVay would have sold me in ten minutes of listening to him talk. I'll make my judgement when I listen to the man talk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Good luck to him. Most people crapped all over the McVay hiring a few years ago and the Rams did more than okay.

I’m not purposely trying to be negative about the hire but I’m more than a little skeptical. McVay was at least an nfl OC before becoming a HC. Taylor was an OC for the UC bearcats for one (bad) year but has otherwise only been a position coach. 2 years ago he was an asst WR coach. I’m not predicting he will not work out but I am saying there isn’t a lot to there to predict that he will. That being said I’m sure the Bengals spent about $3 on this hire so if it doesn’t work out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not mean he will but he is really training for his second opportunity ala McDaniels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) This reminds me when I worked in the restaurants right after I got out of college and ended up getting promoted to store manager a few weeks shy of my 23rd birthday...not because they wanted to but because they had nobody else to promote and because I was doing exceptionally well as an assitant manager and my store manager was pressing them hard that I was the right person for the job. So they gave me some trashed out store they planned on closing because sales were way down, they had a really bad gnat problem, and it was a mess and they went through 5 store managers in a period of a year. I basically kicked ass to the point they kept the store open, sales went up over 10K a month in under a year and I opened up the floodgates to hiring young store managers...after I showed that age is irrelevant when you have ability...prior to that you had to be older than 30 pretty much before even being considered for a store...after me they promoted 3 or 4 other store managers that were under 25. Lots of parallels...old guys thinking that you had to be old and have "many years of experience" to be able to do this job. No, you just had to have talent and ability, and ENOUGH experience to do it. Just because you do something for 30 years doesn't mean you are good at it.
