After 16 seasons without a playoff win under Marvin Lewis, Cincinnati was long overdue for a change at head coach. But instead of a breath of fresh air, his replacement has delivered a cascade of failures, prompting this question:
Is 36-year-old Zac Taylor, the Los Angeles Rams’ former quarterbacks coach, really the best the Bengals could do?
He’s 0-8 after another loss, one in which Cincinnati surrendered 470 yards, a franchise-record fourth straight game an opponent has topped 450. It’s painfully obvious he isn’t ready to be a head coach. Overseeing Ryan Tannehill’s “development” in Miami and a season as Rams offensive assistant -– but not calling plays -– aren’t the greatest bullet points for a resume. Who knew?
