The Cincinnati Bengals are opting for continuity despite a poor 2025 season.
Head coach Zac Taylor will return for his eighth season in the top job with the Bengals, team president Mike Brown announced Monday.
Additionally, director of player personnel Duke Tobin will also return next year. Tobin has been the team’s de facto general manager since 2022.
“Our focus is on building a team that can consistently compete at the highest level, with the goal of winning championships,” Brown said in a statement. “After thoughtful consideration, I am confident that Duke Tobin and Zac Taylor are the right leaders to guide us forward. They have proven they can build and lead teams that compete for championships. We trust their plans and expect to return to our desired level of success.”
The Bengals, on the back of a 6-11 record, missed the playoffs for the third straight season and endured their first losing season since 2020, Taylor’s second year on the job.
They were hampered by injuries, however, as starting QB Joe Burrow missed nine games with turf toe. Cincinnati was 5-3 in the games in which Burrow did suit up.
Overall, Taylor has a 52-63-1 regular-season record since taking over the Bengals in 2019.
