UPDATEAdam Schefter adds it’s Zac Taylor’s job to lose and he’s the preferred choice for Cincinnati. The Bengals appear to have found their next head coach.According to WLWT reporter Elise Jesse Drew Sample Jersey 2019 , Los Angeles Rams QBs coach Zac Taylor is expected to be named Cincinnati’s next head coach. Matt Miller of Bleacher Report added this:Taylor was actually the offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bearcats back in 2016, so he’s familiar with the Queen City, which might explain how he caught the Bengals’ attention. He’s spent the last two seasons with the Rams, serving as wide receivers coach in 2017, then the quarterbacks coach this past season.Taylor is viewed as an assistant on the rise who is also drawing head-coaching interest from the Cardinals. Rams head coach Sean McVay, viewed as one of the top offensive minds in football, talked about Taylor’s impact during a December interview with The MMQB:”He’s instrumental in our third-down game-planning. And he doesn’t just agree with everything Youth Drew Sample Jersey , he challenges you but in a way that’s very welcoming. Sometimes in the NFL disagreements can be uncomfortable in a staff meeting, but not here. There’s a refreshing security that Zac has in himself. He has great emotional intelligence and awareness for how to communicate in a way that makes peoples’ guards go down. That’s a great trait for a coach to have.”At just 35 years old, Taylor is a former quarterback who played college ball at Nebraska, where he was the 2006 Big 12 Player of the Year. When his college career concluded, the Buccaneers brought Taylor as an undrafted free agent, but he was waived shortly after, and he ended up playing in the CFL for a season before beginning his coaching career.In 10 years White Drew Sample Jersey , Taylor has worked his way up through the college and professional ranks, and now is a key assistant to a Rams offense that’s one of the best units in the NFL. Zac Taylor Resume2008-2011: Texas A&M (Graduate Assistant)2012: Miami Dolphins (Assistant QB Coach)2013-2014: Miami Dolphins (QB Coach)2015: Miami Dolphins (QB Coach/Interim Offensive Coordinator)2016: University of Cincinnati (Offensive Coordinator/QB Coach)2017: Los Angeles Rams (Assistant WR Coach)2018-present: Los Angeles Rams (QB Coach) The coaching turnover in the NFL this year has shown that teams are putting less emphasis on experience than they have in the past.In the cases of Zac Taylor, who is expected to be named head coach of the Bengals, and Freddie Kitchens, who has been hired as head coach of the Browns, two coaches have become head coaches without ever being a head coach at any level before, and with less than one year as an NFL coordinator.Taylor’s only coordinator experience was as an interim offensive coordinator in Miami during the 2015 season Drew Sample Jersey Mens , after Joe Philbin was fired as head coach and Dan Campbell became interim head coach. The 35-year-old Taylor also has one year as offensive coordinator at the University of Cincinnati. A year ago he was promoted from assistant wide receivers coach to quarterbacks coach of the Rams. That’s a thin résumé by NFL head coach standards.But it’s a comparable résumé to that of the 44-year-old Kitchens, whose only experience as a coordinator is the second half of last season with the Browns, after head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley were fired. Kitchens was in his first year as the Browns’ running backs coach when he was promoted, and he’d never been more than a position coach before, at any level.New Packers head coach Matt LaFleur also has a résumé that looks light by NFL standards. He has been an offensive coordinator for one season for both the Rams and Titans, but only called the offensive plays once, in 2018. The 39-year-old LaFleur has never been a head coach.And new Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury does have six years of head coaching experience at Texas Tech Billy Price Jersey , but he’s never coached in the NFL at all. At age 39, he also has a résumé that doesn’t look much like the typical career path for an NFL head coach.What all four of those coaches have in common is that they’re young and they’re regarded as having a good understanding of the quarterback position. That’s what NFL owners increasingly want.
