Is Zac Taylor underrated as a head coach across the NFL? Ever since he was hired by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2019, he has been the face of intense scrutiny in the Queen City. Such is life in any NFL town, but let's face it, wasting any season of an elite quarterback's prime is a gridiron sin.
The Bengals endured a brutal season in Taylor's maiden year at the helm, going 2-14 and securing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 draft. Call it the best tank job in franchise history if you like. The outcome was Cincinnati selecting superstar QB Joe Burrow, and the organization's trajectory changed forever.
