As expected, the Cincinnati Bengals officially announced Zac Taylor will become the 10th head coach in franchise history.

The confirmation came Monday after weeks of speculation and tip-toeing around the inevitable. Taylor, the former Los Angeles Rams quarterbacks coach, became the Bengals' choice last month following an interview in advance of the NFC Wildcard Playoff Round, a week after the team parted ways with long-time coach Marvin Lewis.

“I am happy and fortunate to join the Cincinnati Bengals as head coach,” Taylor said in a statement.
