After weeks of speculation, the worst kept secret in the National Football League of Zac Taylor becoming the next head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals was made official last Monday. Taylor will become the tenth head coach in the history of the franchise and is considered to be a breath of fresh air for the team as his offensive mindset is the total opposite of the defensive atmosphere that was created under the Marvin Lewis regime. Despite being only 35 years old, Taylor has a plethora of coaching experience.
He started his coaching career at Texas A&M University in 2008 as a graduate assistant and tight ends coach before joining the Miami Dolphins in 2012 as assistant quarterbacks coach. In 2013, he became the team’s quarterbacks coach and served as interim offensive coordinator in 2015. Taylor had his first stint in the Queen City as quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator for the University of Cincinnati Bearcats in 2016. He then joined the Los Angeles Rams staff in 2017 as assistant wide receivers coach before taking over as quarterbacks coach in 2018.
I am very excited to see what the Bengals can do with Zac Taylor as the new head coach. The team had become very stale and the fanbase had become beyond frustrated with Marvin Lewis and his style of coaching. With offensive innovation becoming the growing trend in the NFL, the Bengals wanted to hire somebody with a connection to one of the coaches leading that change, and I believe they did that by hiring a former protégé of Sean McVay in Zac Taylor. Hopefully Taylor can take what he learned from under McVay, make it his own, and turn the Cincinnati Bengals into Super Bowl Champions.
Who Dey!
