AFlaccoSeagulls Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I haven't seen anyone who really likes Zac Taylor as a coach, and the way he handled the Mixon injury was dreadful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realize he's not even the worst coach. So does worst coach get fired too? The funny thing is, looking at those coaches and then comparing talent, Taylor certainly hasn't done the worst job lol. That being said...if you're going to really rebuild with a #1 overall pick and all that, you have to give him more time. The roster is not good. There is only so much a guy can do, and honestly, this Bengals team was always a longer rebuild. Will he make it through the other side? Probably not. But I do think he will get more time. FTR, nothing he has done makes me think that he's ready to be a coach or that he's going to be a good head coach from what I have seen in dependent of the record, but I don't watch a ton of Bengals games either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zac Taylor was a one-year QB coach after being the assistant WR coach there. Previously, he was actually with Miami as QB coach for a couple seasons (2013-2014) before being promoted to OC in 2015 but he was dreadful in that role with us. Either way, obviously he was hired for the McVay connection but he was on absolutely nobody's radar as a serious coaching candidate prior to the press catching wind he was the favorite to land the job with the Bengals. Absolutely no one called him the "next McVay". The talk was more about "When does the Rams' water boy get a HC gig, now?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side, at least the Bengals didn't sell him to the fanbase as "friends with Sean McVay" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It depends on whether or not Mike Brown is pulling the strings on Taylor or if he thinks he's better off pulling the strings with someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Taylor needs to bring in a better staff or go imo. His OL Coach and DC in particular are awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 He’ll get another 15 seasons, remember which team we’re talking about here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I never liked the hire, but now that he’s already in there, he should get one more year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, did anyone expect the Bengals to be any good this year? They're still rebuilding. I'd keep him for 1 more year unless someone awesome becomes available and for some reason wants to go coach in Cinci. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soflbillsfan Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Yes he was one that was a reach in the first place and should have never been given a HC opportunity his inexperience as a Coordinator let alone a HC is alarming. With that said I doubt it happens because that means the Gm failed who is also the owner of the bengals and something like that cant be an easy response. What the appropriate thing to do is sit back and hire a GM then find an acceptable HC. Unfortunately for certain organizations the Owners are the root of the issue and they need to realize that they are successful in other areas but not football. As for taylor you could easily can him for his horrible coaching and inability to manage this roster effectively. The job is appealing because of burrow and a top 3 pick in the draft, at the same time it is unappealing because the owner refuses to allow the organization to run without his involvement.

DawgX Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I don't think he has a bright future with Cincinnati, but I would be fairly surprised if he's let go at the end of the season. I think he'll get one more year at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It was an odd hire to begin with, and it's not like the Bengals have really improved over the past two years. Joe Burrow should buy him a few games next season, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
