West coast pro style......... pass, has never worked at NU
West Coast worked great. Cosgrove cloud defense is what didn't work. Callahan ran short side option with Zac Taylor at QB in the Restore the Order game against Colorado. Firing Rhule and installing Zac Taylor is not reality, but the way you remember the WCO at NU maybe isn't really what you think it was, either. Think about the caliber of offensive players we had in 2005 and 2006. We don't have that now, and that would be the only reason why it wouldn't work temporarily.

And I'll also add that while DK is certainly a pro style QB, he's literally twice as fast and a quicker processor than DR. And that's not saying all that much considering he'd be a backup as a returning player.

And I'll also add that communism and socialism has never worked anywhere for any sustained period of time. While that has nothing to do with football, it is somehow important to me that I continue to remind this board that I grew up under the belief that socialism was the enemy of everything we stood for as a nation, and I still have real and true disgust for grown adults who promote socialist and communist ideals.

Burrow has missed multiple season with injury. He doesn't control who signs on offensive or defensive line. When the bengals had a decent defense they nearly won the super bowl. Every team he has coached has gotten better as the season went on, but Bengals struggle to get decent olineman and dlineman...mainly because they spend 30% of their salary on 2 wrs and qb.

His QB has missed way too much time and their GM hasn’t built a very good defensive roster. Some of that is Burrow’s contract.

He has coached a A Super Bowl . He can’t help Burrow can’t stay healthy. I don’t think he is an answer. But your number 1 reason makes you an idiot.

If/When he gets fired by the Bengals....would you fire Rhule right now to get him? He would come here for sure. Loves Nebraska
If he can't win with Burrow, Chase, Higgins and company he ain't winning with what we will have here.

Every team has coached except this year's version sucked donkey balls the first couple of weeks also. Not hard to get better when u are like the worst in the league for the first couple weeks of the year. Only way to go is up.

Give him the QB coach job back home if he feels like recharging the batteries for a year or 2. It’s not like Glenn Thomas is a QB whisperer. 1 in 1000 shot but you don’t know if you don’t ask. Offer 3 mill or so to not disrespect him (as he could clearly make more) and if he feels like doing us a charity, hell yes.

They started 2-0. I think Burrow missed 9 games. They have been hemorrhaging defense for years now to keep their offensive core together, but they have rarely been healthy together. They had an absolutely pathetic defensive roster, basically rookies and unwanted free-agents and one guy they paid too much in Hendrickson. It is the name of the game in the NFL, but Burrow is only as good as his health. The reality is the teams get better every year, even when their roster is *** like this year, and guys were complaining and whining, like Burrow having an existential crisis while he sat out most of the year. But the team continued to play and improved at the end of the year. Burrow is kind of ***** now, and looking at Mahomes and Lamar Jackson just kind of fall apart physically, I wouldn't surprised if he just kind of packs it in. I think Burrow is too weird to make another superbowl run.

I said EXCEPT this year's team.. They were 1-10 since he's been HC over weeks 1-2.

100%. Mike Brown is the cheapest owner in all of sports and for maybe good reason, he’s not as rich as everyone else. And isn’t going to pay a buyout.

Zac done more in Cincy then Marv did and Marv stayed for ever. Bengals don’t move coaches like others

PS I’m a Bengals and Zac Fan. The team has the worst injury luck. It’s not just Joey it’s Tee too.
