Zac Taylor Now Lone AFC North Head Coach After Tomlin Steps Down

His tenure faces heightened scrutiny following disappointing seasons that have raised questions about the Bengals’ direction.

Overview

  • Mike Tomlin announced he is stepping down as the Pittsburgh Steelers' head coach on Jan. 13.
  • Baltimore fired John Harbaugh and Cleveland dismissed Kevin Stefanski earlier in the offseason coaching cycle.
  • Zac Taylor completed his seventh season with Cincinnati and is now the division’s longest-tenured and only incumbent head coach.
  • Taylor enters an offseason under increased pressure after multiple losing or non-playoff years since the 2021 Super Bowl run.
  • Speculation about Joe Burrow’s future persists but remains unconfirmed despite public assurances from team figures, as social media fixated on Taylor’s unique status.
