\n
The\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0might not wait until the offseason to make a decision on head coach Zac Taylor.<\/p>\n
Cincinnati hired Taylor as its head coach back in 2019. Although he led the franchise to a\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0appearance in his third season, the reality is the past two years haven\u2019t been good enough. As of now, the Bengals are 4-9 heading into their Week 16 game against the\u00a0Miami Dolphins.<\/p>\n
While the fans have been begging for the front office to move on from Taylor, it doesn\u2019t sound like that\u2019ll happen.\u00a0NFL Network\u2019s Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport\u00a0believe the Bengals will retain their coach for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite a third straight non-playoff season and quarterback\u00a0Joe Burrow\u2019s recent musings about the future, there are no signs the Bengals are preparing to make major changes,\u201d Rapoport and Pelissero said. \u201cCoach Zac Taylor has two years left on his contract, and all indications are that Taylor should return.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Pelissero and Rapoport, the Bengals are expected to give Taylor another year in large part because he didn\u2019t have Burrow for over two months.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
What about Joe Burrow?<\/h2>\n
It\u2019s no secret that Burrow is frustrated with his current situation in Cincinnati. As of this time though, he\u2019s not expected to demand a trade.<\/p>\n
Burrow is under contract through the 2029 season. He was asked this week if he\u2019d consider leaving the Bengals. His response was pretty simple: \u201cI can\u2019t see that, no.\u201d<\/p>\n
If the Bengals keep losing, Burrow might have no choice but to apply pressure on Cincinnati\u2019s front office. For now though, he\u2019ll need to make things work with Taylor at the helm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
