"We came into the season with high expectations, coming off four straight winning seasons with leaders in place that took us to a Super Bowl and two AFC Championship games. We know this season has been frustrating and disappointing. The results fell short of our standards, and missing the playoffs again proves there is more work to do," Brown said in a statement."
"Our focus is on building a team that can consistently compete at the highest level, with the goal of winning championships. 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 Cincinnati Bengals announced the return of head coach Zac Taylor and director of player personnel Duke Tobin. Owner Mike Brown said the team entered the season with high expectations after four straight winning seasons, but finished 6-11 and missed the playoffs for a third straight year. Franchise quarterback Joe Burrow missed nine games with turf toe that required surgery. Brown expressed confidence in Tobin and Taylor's leadership and plans to rebuild a team that can consistently compete for championships. Taylor has led the team to two playoff appearances and multiple conference championship game showings in seven seasons.
