Fans of the Zac Taylor-led Cincinnati Bengals are not going to like Sporting News’ most recent head coaching rankings.
With the Patriots’ Bill Belichick rightfully claiming the top spot, Zac Taylor found himself at the 31st spot of the 32 ranked head coaches. The Cardinals’ Kliff Kingsbury, who won’t have many high-value assets to work with, was the only coach below him.
With that said, four of SN’s bottom five were rookie head coaches. Of the six first-year head coaches, all were ranked 20 or below with the Browns’ Freddie Kitchens as the highest-ranked rookie coach at 20.
