According to reports, Los Angeles Rams quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor is the apple in Cincinnati’s eye. Once the Rams postseason ends (either via elimination or a Super Bowl victory), the Bengals have singled out Taylor as their preferred head coaching candidate — reportedly a decision made by Katie Blackburn, another indication that her role continues to expand. It should be noted that an offer hasn’t been confirmed yet, which would violate league rules.
Taylor, a former Cincinnati Bearcats offensive coordinator quarterbacks coach (2016), would replace Marvin Lewis, who spent 16 seasons in Cincinnati as the franchise’s winningest coach.
