NFL Week 10, 2019: 5 Coaches on the hot seat
By Dan Parzych
5. Zac Taylor
Over the last few weeks, it’s been mentioned numerous times how unfair it may seem to have Zac Taylor on the hot seat since the head coach is currently in the middle of his first season with the Cincinnati Bengals.

But unfortunately for Taylor, the Bengals entering Week 10 currently winless is the last position the team expected to be in at this point in November, and has plenty of fans wondering if he’s even the right fit at Cincinnati.
As bad as it sounds, some individuals just aren’t meant to be head coaches, and Cincinnati may want to realize now instead of waiting it out to see if Taylor has what it takes to help this team become a contender again in the AFC.
Not even benching Andy Dalton to pave the way for rookie Ryan Finley seems like it will be good enough for Taylor at this point since the team will most likely be sitting at 0-9 around this time next week with a Sunday meeting against the Baltimore Ravens.
Looking ahead at the upcoming schedule with all of the tough games, Cincinnati may not even be in position to win their first game until December rolls around, as bad as that sounds.
