The Cincinnati Bearcats have hired the Miami Dolphins’ interim offensive coordinator Zac Taylor to replace Eddie Gran and Darin Hinshaw as UC’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
It appears like a two-for-one deal here, in that Taylor will fulfill the roles that Gran and Hinshaw vacated when they left for Kentucky. I’d be interested to see what kind of salary is heading his way. Gran made $350,000 while at Cincinnati and Hinshaw $250,000. My college math skills tell me they left a $600,000 gap in Tommy Tuberville’s budget. Will all of that go to Taylor? Probably not but I’ll be on the lookout to see if he makes in the Eddie Gran range or somewhere closer to $300,000 and the other cash being redistributed to other coaches.
