4. Zac Taylor

Would the Cincinnati Bengals ever consider moving on from Zac Taylor after only one season with the team?

This may sound unfair since the argument can be made that Taylor deserves a year to adjust to being a head coach, but also the Bengals only having one win sums up how this season has been.

As frustrating as it was to watch Cincinnati finish on the losing end of an overtime thriller against the Miami Dolphins, at least the loss secured the top overall pick for the Bengals in April’s draft, as bad as that sounds to say.

Once the draft arrives, the Bengals will face a difficult decision in regards to giving Andy Dalton another shot or going with someone new such as Joe Burrow.

But before Cincinnati can even begin the discussion of potential No. 1 picks to consider in the draft, the team needs to decide whether Taylor is the right choice at head coach.

Firing a head coach after only one season isn’t too common in the NFL, but also the Bengals aren’t in great position to allow another year go to waste in 2020 if Taylor is far from the right fit since some individuals just aren’t cut for the job.
