Show Notes
Welcome to the 2020 season wrap-edition of HTPG! Paul and Jay kick off the program discussing Cincinnati's decision to retain both head coach Zac Taylor and defensive coordinator Lou Amarumo, following the team's 4-11-1 end-of-year record. How surprised were the guys that the Bengals kept both coaches? Was this the right decision by Mike Brown? PDJ and JM ponder the likelihood of Cincinnati flashing drastic improvement in Taylor's third year. Is there history to support growth in a coach's third season? What would need to transpire in order to help Taylor's chances at a turnaround? Why isn't the team coaching the Senior Bowl? Is there an advantage/disadvantage to refraining from heading the practices? Is it inconsequential or detrimental for a member of an organization to leak information about staffing changes, much like a member of the Bengals' personnel did? The guys react to Joe Burrow's Tweet of approval in response to the organization keeping Taylor, and highlight potential offensive line coaching candidates.
