The Cincinnati Bengals were the last team in the NFL to fill their head coaching vacancy. As a result, Zac Taylor got a late start filling out his staff and evaluating the talent on the roster. While at first there was optimism, it is clear the first time head coach needs more time to get his bearings. That much has been proven in the dysfunction the team has experienced this season.
In recent weeks, the Bengals have made some bold, uncharacteristic moves. First came the benching of Andy Dalton. Most recently, they cut veteran linebacker Preston Brown.
