I think the next show to drop is finally the OC. Staff still needs a TE coach and a WR coach as well. Any rumors on any TE or WR coaches?

IMO I think they are trying to get Phillips kid as the WR coach and get an OC, but if they cant get the OC they want, they will give that role to Grandson of Bum

As for TE coach, its too bad that Rob Boras guy got snatched up....
Said No one ever

Lets be honest, he even sucked as a TE coach.

You don't know that. You don't like the Rams' tight ends' performance. Everything I've ever heard about the guy indicates that he's a good position coach, and a great teacher. If some TEs don't perform as well as they might, it's not always the position coach's fault.

It didn't work out, so it was time to move on. He even looks like he'll fit right in in Buffalo.

I concur, bearded guy with the surname of Boras, needs Snow and he'll have plenty in Western, NY.

You know, that's fair. I'm taking his ineptitude as an OC and transferring it to his ability as a TE coach. That being said, when he was our TE coach, Our TE really didn't stand out. Outside of the drops that I cannot blame on any coach, they weren't known for their crisp routes and outstanding blocking.

ZAC TAYLORZac Taylor
Position:
Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach
Alma Mater:
Nebraska '06

Zac Taylor is in his first year as the University of Cincinnati’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after joining the staff in January 2016.

A rising star in the coaching ranks, Taylor brings NFL experience to UC, having spent four seasons with the Miami Dolphins (2012-15), serving as the team’s offensive coordinator and primary playcaller for the second half of the 2015 campaign. He spent three-and-a-half years as the team’s quarterbacks coach, having been named to that position on January 30, 2013. Taylor originally joined the organization as the team’s assistant quarterbacks coach on January 30, 2012.

During his time in Miami, Taylor was instrumental in the development of signal caller Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill threw for 3,000 or more yards in each of his first four seasons, the first QB in team history to achieve that feat and only the second QB to have multiple 3,000 yard passing seasons along with Hall of Famer Dan Marino.

Tannehill’s 15,460 passing yards in his first four seasons are the third-most among all quarterbacks in NFL history in their first three seasons according to pro-football-reference.com, trailing Peyton Manning (1998-2001/16,418) and Dan Marino (1983-86/16,177).

Tannehill set a career mark in 2015 with 4,208 yards passing, going 363-for-586 with 24 TDs and a rating of 88.7.

In 2014, Tannehill threw 27 TDs, a career high and the sixth-most in Dolphins history. It was the most since Marino threw 30 in 1994. Tannehill also set career highs with a completion percentage of 66.4 and a passer rating of 92.8. Additionally, Tannehill set a franchise record with his 392 completions, surpassing Marino’s 385 in 1994.

In 2013, under Taylor’s guidance, Tannehill threw for 3,912 passing yards. His 7,207 passing yards through his first two seasons were the fifth-most by any quarterback over the course of their first two seasons in NFL history.

In 2012, Tannehill set team rookie records in passing yards (3,294), attempts (484), and completions (282) and he became the first quarterback in Dolphins history to start all of the team’s games in his first year in the league.

Taylor joined the Dolphins from Texas A&M University, where he served as the offensive graduate assistant and tight ends coach from 2008-11 under head coach Mike Sherman. The Aggies shared the Big 12 South Championship in 2010 and played in three bowl games during Taylor’s time in College Station.

As a player, Taylor spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being signed as an undrafted college free agent on April 29, 2007, but was waived prior to the start of training camp. He then joined the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League in the fall of 2007.

Taylor completed a two-year career at Nebraska, setting nearly every Huskers passing record. He threw for 5,850 yards and 45 touchdowns in his career and was tabbed to play in the 2007 East West Shrine Game.

The 2006 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, Taylor passed for more than 2,700 yards as as senior, leading the Cornhuskers to a 9-3 record, an appearance in the Big 12 Championship Game and a matchup against UC Head Coach Tommy Tuberville’s Auburn Tigers in the Cotton Bowl.

Prior to his time at Nebraska, Taylor passed for nearly 3,000 yards and 29 touchdowns at Butler County CC to earn second-team NJCAA All-America honors. He helped lead the Grizzlies to the NJCAA championship game, where they lost to Pearl River (Miss.) JC. Taylor began his collegiate career at Wake Forest, redshirting in 2002 and serving as the Demon Deacons’ backup quarterback in 2003.

A native of Norman, Oklahoma, Taylor and his wife, Sarah, have two boys, Brooks and Luke.

Taylor earned a bachelor’s degree in communication studies from Nebraska in 2006.

He has three siblings, Press, Quincy and Kathryn. Taylor’s younger brother, Press, played QB at Marshall University and is currently the assistant quaterbacks coach for the Philadelphia Eagles. Taylor’s father, Sherwood, was a defensive back and captain for Oklahoma and head coach Barry Switzer from 1976-1979. Sherwood later coached at Oklahoma (1981-83) and Kansas State (1984-85).

That's interesting. I wonder if he's going to be the OC.
