00:00Zach Taylor is opening a door that I don't think any Bengals fan actually wants him to open.
00:04The Tampa Bay...
00:05The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to interview Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher for their offensive coordinator vacancy sometime...
00:10Later this week.
00:11Now follow me here because the rules state that if an assistant coach like Pitcher is being requested...
00:15to interview with another organization to take on the same job, essentially a lateral move, then his current...
00:20team can block that interview and block that move altogether, but Pitcher is getting this opportunity with Tampa...
00:25the Bay because Taylor is allowing it to happen according to Ian Rappaport.
00:28Taylor is allowing Pitcher to seek...
00:30other offensive coordinator opportunities that would actually allow him to call plays.
00:34And again, I can't...
00:35I can't think of anything that's going to piss off Bengals fans more.
00:38The idea of Taylor giving up, relinquishing play...
00:40calling duties has been the topic of conversation for years.
00:43And now he's allowing his best and frankly smartest...
00:45assistant to potentially leave...
00:46either because A, he doesn't want to give up play calling duties...
00:49or B...
00:50the team itself doesn't want him to give up play calling duties.
00:52And frankly, I'm not dismissing option B.
00:54I think it's...
00:55entirely possible that the Bengals want to force Zach Taylor to keep calling plays...
00:58so they don't risk losing their offensive...
01:00play caller every time their offense is good...
01:02and then their offensive coordinator gets hired to be head coach.
01:04Either way, like I...
01:05that said when Pitcher was interviewing to be the Browns head coach...
01:07losing him would be bad for the Bengals...
01:08and bad for Zach Taylor...
01:09but if he doesn't...
01:10does leave...
01:11who do you want the Bengals to hire as their next offensive coordinator?
01:13Let me know down in the comments below.
