NFL Week 8, 2019: 5 Coaches on the hot seat

4. Zac Taylor

Normally, it seems unfair to put a head coach in the middle of their first season with a team on the hot seat, but the Cincinnati Bengals should be concerned over Zac Taylor still being in search of his first win entering Week 8.

And if this didn’t already seem frustrating enough, the Bengals will most likely fall to 0-8 on the season since they most likely will be no match for the Los Angeles Rams in London this weekend.

Back in the offseason, there was plenty of excitement surrounding the hiring of Taylor since his previous work with the Rams made it seem like he would be able to elevate the offense to new levels under Andy Dalton.

Unfortunately, this has been far from the case, and while some will argue that Cincinnati deserves some benefit of the doubt for A.J. Green being absent with an injury, this excuse won’t help Taylor’s job security.

Talent-wise, there are still plenty of weapons for the Bengals to work with on offense, and most football fans assumed this team would at least have one or two wins by now.

Until Taylor finally earns that first win as head coach, that hot seat is only going to continue to heat up in Cincinnati.
