This will be the third straight season without making the playoffs. When you have the offensive talent this team does, that is unacceptable. He should not get a pass for Joe Burrow being out. Joe Flacco has played lights out, yet this team is still losing.

If you want to argue that Zac doesn't coach the defense, I get that. However, he is the HEAD COACH of the team. He is responsible for both sides of the ball. He went out of his way to say that the decision to let Lou Anarumo go was entirely his decision. He was squarely in the conversation about the next hire for that job. He helped choose his neighbor and former linebacker coach, Al Golden, to be the new defensive coordinator. The results are a defense that is on a historically bad pace for the 2025 season.
