NFL Week 13, 2019: 5 Coaches on the hot seat
By Dan Parzych
5. Zac Taylor
Every week, it seems unfair to put Zac Taylor on this list since the Cincinnati Bengals head coach is in the middle of his first season with the team, but also this factor may not be good enough to save his job.

Back in the offseason, the Bengals hired Taylor with the intention of the new head coach helping the offense reach new levels after seeing the work accomplished last year with the Los Angeles Rams.
As football fans have seen, this has been far from the case with Cincinnati entering Week 13 still in search of their first win, as the team recently announced they will be making the switch back to Andy Dalton at quarterback.
It’s difficult to figure out why the Bengals would all of a sudden care about winning after benching Dalton to see what rookie Ryan Finley could bring to the table, but maybe Week 13 will finally help Taylor earn that first win.
Otherwise, there’s a good chance the Bengals will, in fact, go the entire year winless when looking at their remaining schedule for the final four games, which include two meetings with the Cleveland Browns along with a battle against the New England Patriots.
