The Cincinnati Bengals have officially hired Los Angeles Rams Quarterbacks Coach Zac Taylor to become their next head coach today a move we covered when it was first announced in mid-January.While there was an agreement in principle, the Bengals had to wait until the Rams’ season was over to complete the hire.Taylor joined the Rams in 2017 coming on to Head Coach Sean McVay’s staff as the assistant wide receivers coach. A year later
https://www.ramsfanstore.com/Ethan-Westbrooks-Jersey , Taylor took over as quarterbacks coach when Greg Olsonleft to become the offensive coordinator for the Oakland Raiders and their new (old) head coach, Jon Gruden.Taylor is light on experience having concluded his playing career in 2007. Four years as a grad assistant at Texas A&M preceded four years climbing the coaching ladder with the Miami Dolphins including becoming the offensive coordinator in that final year. In 2016, he jumped back to the college level to be the OC with Cincinnati before coming onto the Rams. So it’s been a steep ascent for the 35-year old.This is, of course, largely the McVay effect.
