The Bengal organization plans to make Zac Taylor’s coaching staff a big stir after Sunday’s final against the Ravens.
Sources tell AllBengals that the team will move on from several assistants at the end of the season.
The organization started to come up with big changes with the current coaching staff after the Bengals lost to the Dolphins in Week 13. At that point, the team ranked in the category near the bottom of the NFL, including points scored (29th), chasing (30th) and total defense (26th).
League sources tell AllBengals that the Bengals’ front office was blunt and forthcoming in their talks with Taylor as they judged the direction of the franchise. The second-year head coach is set to return for a third season, but there will be many new faces on his staff.
The organization started talking to their current staff about the future this week.
Taylor praised his coaches on Wednesday.
‘Extremely high, extremely high. You know, they were appointed for a reason, “Taylor said when asked about his confidence in the Bengal coaching staff.” I think there is good communication about the staff and [I’m] really very satisfied with the work they do ”.
The Bengals apparently turned things around with a rare grid. They have won rugby matches for the first time in more than two years.
Cincinnati has also improved in several statistical categories over the past few weeks.
They scored from 29 to 27 in points, 30 to 25 in rushing and 26 to 22 in total defense. These improvements will not be enough to save labor as the front office hopes to promote the franchise in a positive way.
The team struggled under Taylor in year two. While four wins is an improvement over his two-win season in 2019, the front office wants this team to be further in their rebuilding in hopes of taking part in the tough AFC North.
