4. Zac Taylor

Normally, it’s unfair to put a head coach in the middle of his first season with a team on a list like this, but as the Arizona Cardinals showed last year, sometimes it only takes one season for a team to move on.

Back in the offseason when the Cincinnati Bengals hired Zac Taylor as their new head coach, the hope was the team would finally put an end to their playoff drought.

Moving on from Marvin Lewis after last season seemed like a decision that was long overdue for the Bengals, and while Taylor was expected to go through some growing pains, no one saw a start like this coming.

By now, most football fans assumed that Cincinnati would have at least one or two wins under their belts heading into Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Bengals have even come close a few times.

If being 0-6 wasn’t already frustrating enough, it should also be noted that four of the six losses by Cincinnati have come by single digits, making it easy to see why the Bengals should arguably have a few wins by now.

Similar to Doug Marrone since the two head coaches on the hot seat get to face one another on Sunday, if the Bengals end up suffering another loss, Taylor seems like a lock for this list next week.
