Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor has unquestionably done a great job of reviving his early reputation as a leader over the past two years. Or at least his franchise quarterback, Joe Burrow, has done it for him. Either way, he’s suddenly a success. He has two division titles in that time and two conference finals appearances, five playoff victories, and he nearly claimed a Super Bowl title.
Now five years into his head coaching career, he still has an overall losing record because of how poorly his first three seasons went, but that’s bound to flip in 2023 and beyond.
