Three years ago, it was one of the biggest jokes in football.
If you ever had a cup of coffee with Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, you had a good chance of becoming an NFL head coach yourself. Three years ago, the Cincinnati Bengals hired Zac Taylor to be their coach after he spent two seasons coaching wide receivers and then quarterbacks under McVay.
Whether that constituted a cup of coffee or something more substantial, nobody is laughing at that hire now as Taylor will face McVay in Super Bowl LVI on Feb.
