As @vogel_wlwt reported first, Zac Taylor is in the building at Paul Brown Stadium. Bengals QB Andy Dalton just left the stadium a few minutes after his new head coach arrived. @WLWT #Bengals

The count down is on... we should get the official announcement on the hiring of Zac Taylor as HC soon. #Bengals

Good.  Finally.  Flew into Lunken on a private jet.  Wonder whose jet.  And why did Andy leave a few minutes after the new coach got there?  Seems like they might have some talking to do.

Sounds logical.

I'm not sure they are even allowed to have any contact per the PBA agreement. Like Fozzie said, probably just to welcome him...

And where the heck is Hobson.... still writing about a player on another team???

people can hate on Andy for his play all they want, but the guy is the definition of a class act.

Probably a charter. Unless you are an absolute gazillionaire, owning you own jet is stupid.

The FO will email Hobs his story a little later in the day and then he'll "write" it.

I'm thinking the 2 times to watch for any announcement today would be 1pm and 4pm. these seem like the 2 times the Bengals make announcements...

No doubt about it.

But they never really seem prepared during their 4pm announcements.... it's like they announce better when they announce at 1PM, and come out flat at 4....

So they'll announce it today and then have the presser tomorrow? Will his staff be announced tomorrow too? That's the part I really want to get to.

What I really wanna know is if we have a DC lined up or not yet, I mean we already know ZT is the new HC, we really need a great DC in house now, really would love to see JDR come in, Im not so sure he will.

how many QB's in the NFL would you consider not to be a class act?

Just spoke to a #Bengals player who told me “oh yeah he’s in there” with a big smile on his face. He didn’t want to talk on camera but you can tell the Zac Taylor buzz is real at PBS.

quite a few to be honest, but that's not really the point I was making, Dalton is one of the nicest most pure guys in the NFL

Makes sense. Mikes nap time is from 1:45 to 3:15.

Well, that one guy up in Cleveland comes to mind.  And nobody ever accused Ben of being classy.  That's two right in our own division.
