When you talk to people on the Rams, you learn he is a football guy non-stop. When he went in and interviewed some places, I was told when he talked about offense -- what he was able to use from Sean McVay's offense plus some twists he put on it -- other teams were blown away. He commanded the room in the interview process. He's a guy who is very family-oriented, and he's one of these 24-7 football guys who can connect with both players and coaches, both old and young. Cincinnati, I thought, was going to be a hard place to get a good hire. If they do make this official, they'll end getting one of the hidden gems in this coaching class.'

Believe Bengals are getting a gem of a coach in Taylor. 

Plus we are in a good position to gamble on a coach with a high upside. If it does not work out we just move along in a couple years and if it does then we are golden. 

Wanted Bieniemy or Taylor for that very reason.
