![]() But maybe Cincinnati’s head coach is going a different direction here, putting more value in a coach’s contribution to winning actual games rather than building the program, leaving that to the likes of Robert Prunty. Heck, UC coaches have been fired before for not making an impact on the recruiting trail and here’s someone who’s only spent three years in the game. So with limited time at the collegiate level, Taylor likely doesn’t bring a lot of recruiting experience to the table, which is curious considering Tuberville’s emphasis on this. But after his three years with the Aggies, he was up and hired as an assistant quarterbacks coach with the Dolphins. He started off as a graduate assistant at Texas A&M after an excellent career with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Taylor spent most of his career in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins. Will all of that go to Taylor? Probably not but I’ll be on the lookout to see if he makes in the Eddie Gran range or somewhere closer to $300,000 and the other cash being redistributed to other coaches.īut to the actual hire, it’s a bit of an interesting one. My college math skills tell me they left a $600,000 gap in Tommy Tuberville’s budget. Gran made $350,000 while at Cincinnati and Hinshaw $250,000. I’d be interested to see what kind of salary is heading his way. It appears like a two-for-one deal here, in that Taylor will fulfill the roles that Gran and Hinshaw vacated when they left for Kentucky. JUST IN: Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Zac Taylor will be new OC/QB coach at #UC, #Bearcats sources confirm. The Cincinnati Bearcats have hired the Miami Dolphins’ interim offensive coordinator Zac Taylor to replace Eddie Gran and Darin Hinshaw as UC’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. ![]() The family settled in Miami and Rodríguez graduated from Coral Gables Senior High School in Coral Gables, Florida.
