Steven M. Sipple: As Martinez eyes future as coach, he may want to check out the guy in Cincy

Adrian Martinez probably doesn't need my advice on anything, unless he's looking for decent truck-stop diners in the area.

But he certainly could learn from Zac Taylor. After all, Martinez wants someday to be a coach. So it might make sense for him to take some degree of interest in the career of Taylor, the former Nebraska quarterback who in February took over as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals — his first head coaching gig at any level.

Martinez, the talented Nebraska sophomore quarterback, crossed my mind Saturday as I caught up with Taylor, especially the part of our conversation when Zac made it clear that playing QB for Huskers helped prepare him for his current role.
