Jan. 5 (UPI) -- The Cincinnati Bengals will retain head coach Zac Taylor and director of player personnel Duke Tobin, owner Mike Brown announced Monday.
Taylor led the Bengals to a 52-63-1 record over the last seven seasons, including a 6-11 campaign in 2025-26. That run included a run to Super Bowl LVI and back-to-back AFC Championship game appearances in 2021 and 2022.
Tobin, the Bengals' de-facto general manager, joined the franchise since 1999. Brown said the Bengals' recent results "fell short of our standards," but expressed confidence in Tobin and Taylor as "the right leaders" to guide the franchise's future.
"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," Brown said. "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.
