The NFL is an interconnected system. Coaches and GMs know other coaches and GMs all around the league. Most coaches have worked with multiple staffs on multiple teams.
So when a team is looking for a coach they rely a lot on the suggestions of other guys around the league who they know (The same thing happens in a lot of other industries). Obviously some people who had worked with Taylor saw HC potential in him. I'm pretty sure their was talk of him being an "up and comer" before the Bengals interviewed him.
