Coaches who could be fired before Bengals’ Zac Taylor after Week 8’s close call
I've wondered aloud whether Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor is someone who can lift a football program to the next level. Yes, he's gotten the Bengals to a Super Bowl and another AFC title game, but does he have the extra oomph to seize a Lombardi Trophy?
Perhaps. Perhaps not. There's a real urgency around the Bengals this year, and with Taylor under contract through only 2027, it's coming up on the time where he could be shown the door.
For now, Taylor is safe thanks to a 5-2 record, right on the heels of a 43-36 overtime win over the 1-7 Tennessee Titans. However, there are some discouraging bouts of inconsistency that have plagued his tenure and this season.
