The Cincinnati Bengals have hired former Nebraska great Zac Taylor as the 10th head coach in the history of the franchise. The Bengals made the announcement on Monday morning after Taylor completed his season with the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII.
Taylor is the first Husker in the Super Bowl era to become an NFL head coach, and just the fifth former Nebraska player to lead an NFL team. Other former Huskers who have served as head coaches in the NFL include Guy Chamberlin (6 seasons, 1922-27), Ed Weir (2 seasons, 1927-28), Ray Richards (3 seasons, 1955-57) and Ray Prochaska (interim coach, 2 games, 1961).
