Latest: Zac Taylor could be Bengals new head coach

[The Real Deal]

I was just told by one source about a half hour ago that the #Bengals are planning to name Zac Taylor as their Head Coach (after playoffs of course). I'm told by the same source that Troy and Katie made the call. Stay tuned.

Her next tweet says it's only one source, and she has to check it.  I wonder if that source is Furman or another person?

The Bearcats were the 123rd scoring offense in the entire nation and his playcalling left a lot to be desired. Hopefully he's developed and grown since then, but I definitely have some trepidation if he's the hire.

I worry a lot about the trend of hiring coaches from teams where the HC is really the OC, and the other offensive coaches get the credit just by being around them.

Taylor was also interim OC with the Dolphins in 2015 for the last 5 games after Lazor was let go.
The offense in those last 5 games averaged 17 points a game.
That's actually lower than what Bill Lazor had in that season, which was 20.45 PPG.
For those last 5 games, the Dolphins had all their key offensive playmakers (Tannehill, Landry, Parker, Stills, Miller, Ajayi).
I'm less confident with Taylor than I would be with Bieniemy, but hopefully Taylor's learned a lot while with the Rams the past two years and would alleviate my doubts.

Thanks. 

Why? Bieniemy played here 4 years over twenty years ago and honestly did you even know he was a coach before this year? Personally Taylor is better because he doesn’t have that bengals stink on him

So it looks like it will be Zac Taylor as the next Bengals coach. Interesting swing on the rumors and feelings over the last 24 hours.

Hopefully Taylor doesn't still want to work with Lazor

I don't consider Elise Jesse a Bengals reporter anyway. When I said Bengals reporter, I meant like Paul Dehner Jr, Kat Terrell, Marisa Contipelli, or Fletcher Page.
EDIT - Elise Jesse is a general Cincinnati sports reporter and local anchor, but not specifically dedicated on just the Bengals like the ones I mentioned above.

Press Taylor his brother could tag along and bring Foles



Just brainstorming

My favorite pick. I love it.

Yes, I do? An offensive coordinator is responsible for managing a team's offense.
I don't really understand why Zac Taylor would get a pass for his performance with a team midseason but then guys like Freddie Kitchens would get praise for their interim OC work? If Freddie Kitchens gets critiqued (in a good way) for taking over the Browns, shouldn't Taylor get critiqued for taking over the Dolphins?

Key words "Stay Tuned".

I think i like Beinemy a bit more cause of this but what you need at HC is a great communicator and that is what Taylor is according to McVay.

Keeping in mind that he never had near the talent to work with at UC, as he does in the NFL.  No disrespect to the UC program, as they had an outstanding year, this season.  But, historically, UC is much better known for Basketball than Football..

They were on a pretty good run until Tommy Tupperware ran it into the ground.

I thought we all wanted an outside guy and now they say Taylor and people are panicking again lol.

So I haven't logged in and posted any in the last few years,  but I've been here reading in the shadows the whole time and this has brought me outta the shadows to post.   I've kinda been riding the Foles Bandwagon here lately and really feel they Philly is making a mistake keeping Wentz and letting Foles go,  if we could land this Scenario I would be ecstatic!!

[Bengalholic]

Very first source I spoke with, who’s been reliable, told me they would bet on Zac Taylor being “the guy.”

But have yet to confirm anything right now on reports. #Bengals @fox19

The Bengals can't announce who their guy is until he's out of the playoffs but maybe they let it slip under the table.
