CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals' front office appears to be going out of its comfort zone with its hire of Zac Taylor as head coach, and it just might be the risk the organization needs.
The Bengals officially hired the 35-year-old Taylor as their 10th head coach on Monday, despite his relative lack of NFL experience. The move obviously comes with the hope that Taylor, who spent one season as quarterback coach for the Los Angeles Rams, could bring Cincinnati the same results as Rams coach Sean McVay.
Of course, coaches like the 33-year-old McVay are rare.
