On a loop Tuesday, new Bengals head coach Zac Taylor preached his sermon of culture, character and accountability.

Two days later, Taylor officially announced the first hires to his staff. Among them were former Texas A&M offensive line coach Jim Turner, who comes with a checkered past of being fired for being aware of and participating in a bullying scandal with the Miami Dolphins as well as suspended for his role in using sexually suggestive language in a football clinic for women two years ago at Texas A&M.
