How many games does Zac Taylor need to win this year to keep his job?
Zac Taylor is on the hot seat. How hot do you think it should be?
Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor speaks at the 2026 NFL Combine in Indianapolis. | Phil Didion/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Greetings, Bengals fans! It’s safe to say 2026 is going to be a critical season for the Zac Taylor era.
After missing the playoffs in three straight seasons and going 6-11 this past season, some wondered if Taylor would even get another shot to keep his job. Alas, the Bengals are giving Taylor another chance to keep his job and likely earn a contract extension next year if he can win enough games this coming season. So, how many games does Taylor need to win to keep his job?
Does he have to get the Bengals into the playoffs? Will another 9-8 season be enough? Or will this frugal ownership be happy with just 6-to-8 wins for Taylor to keep his post?
