The NFL is an institution that likes to set and follow certain trends. One of the most recent examples of this is in teams clamoring to find the next young, forward-thinking coaches in the mold of, specifically, Sean McVay.
The Cincinnati Bengals went right to the source this offseason, hiring McVay’s quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor from the Rams. There is a major risk to the signing, as Taylor has not been a head coach before, but count his former boss as a guy who thinks Taylor has what it takes to succeed in the league.
