Bengals head coach Zac Taylor a long shot to win AP Coach of the Year

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor is tied for the third-lowest odds to win AP Coach of the Year

The Bengals have made plenty of changes to their roster this offseason. 

The selected quarterback Joe Burrow with the No. 1 pick and aggressively attacked their needs in free agency. 

Franchise mainstays like A.J. Green, Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap remain, but the Bengals are hopeful that an infusion of young talent will turn things around after a 2-14 season. 

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor enters 2020 with a lot to prove. Is he the guy that is able to get the most out of Burrow? Will he put the rookie signal-caller in a position to succeed? 

If Taylor can get the most out of his quarterback, then the Bengals could rebound following a 2-14 season. 

BetOnline released the odds for Associated Press Coach of the Year. Taylor was tied for the third-lowest odds to win the award at 33/1. He was ahead of Joe Judge, Jon Gruden, Ron Rivera, Adam Gase, Bill O'Brien and Doug Marrone.
