Head coach Zac Taylor has signed a contract extension that will keep him through 2026, the team announced Wednesday.
"He's a good young coach," Bengals president Mike Brown said in the release. “The fruits of Zac’s efforts were seen this year, and Zac is well-regarded by our players and coaches. I know the effort and passion Zac brings to the building and to our team, and I am pleased by his approach. And I think the city of Cincinnati sees him the way the players and I do. He’s brought excitement to the town and deserves credit and recognition for that."
The 38-year-old joined the Bengals in 2019, after helping lead the Rams to a Super Bowl LIII appearance as quarterbacks coach. In his first two years in Cincinnati, Taylor posted a 6–25 record, marred by Joe Burrow’s ACL tear in November 2020.
