Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor wants to remain with the organization and city for the entirety of his coaching career.
Appearing in an interview with HuskerOnline, Taylor suggested they would have to carry him out of the city in a casket before he would willingly leave.
Asked what makes the city and Bengals organization such a great fit, Taylor said the following:
“Same values I grew up with in Norman…the people are midwestern. I always thought I was from the midwest, I’m not. This is the midwest, where I live now. But the people are just very down to earth, hard-working. Good people, treat their neighbors the right way. That’s very much how the Brown and Blackburn family is, shared values, constant communication, very much in alignment…”
It’s a fun interview from Taylor, who also touches on his relationship with Joe Burrow and what the team saw in Nebraska standout Cam Taylor-Britt, among other topics.
Based on Taylor’s re-tooling of the Bengals program and the success that has followed — never mind delivering playoff game balls to local businesses — fans and the city itself feel the same way.
