[@venunarla]

So humble and grounded temperament - perfect coach with the perfect quarterback at the perfect time!

[@imagereader_9]

You got DAT right! Or is it 'You got DEY right? Who DEY? Who DAT? It's all DE same! :^)

[@venunarla]

@Howard Bueker I agree with you that Joe Burrow is any coach’s dream because he is talented and more importantly because he is very coachable. But I wouldn’t take anything away from coach Taylor. He is smart to have hired and impressed Joe Burrow when they talked at the combine. Most underrated trait is to be grounded and having a even keel. Hubris will get anyone in trouble - even the best ones. Just as Mahomes and Andy Reid found out.

[@tympanuchustornado]

@Howard Bueker I love how everyone thinks it's a QB game.

[@tympanuchustornado]

@Howard Bueker you could think a lot of things. Nothing is perfect in football.

[@dominicleone1022]

Well said

[@charlitoguzman6414]

Thank you coach Zac Taylor for everything you have done with our Bengals team! You turned our franchise around and brought greatness to our city! Thank You! Now let's go win Super Bowl LVI. Who Dey!

[@Whasteen]

Who Dey!!

[@bennydojo]

Who Dey!!!!

Who dey think they gone be them bengals…… 👂👂👂

[@josephtorres1406]

🐯- 🐏No rams No rams, No rams gonna beat them Bengals. Who Dey !!! @@gabelincoln3608

[@Briguy1027]

Heh should be a good super bowl. Cincinatti is "Who Dey!" and Rams are "who's house"

[@danielhaycraft8335]

Should have gotten coach of the year

[@lap0081]

Yah maybe but I will take a super bowl win any day over coach of a year award. That award is bullony

[@leftyspade]

Tony, incredible interview, Mr. Taylor, we're all rooting for you guys!

[@louiseregan2498]

I really love these one on one interviews. So much more information, much more comprehensive in nature. These interviews cover the details and the broad strokes. Lov em.

[@Maxbps88]

Agreed; though, I wish they were more conversational = I'd love to hear what questions Zac has for Coach Dungy and his answers (and Burrow for Brees).

[@johnson-iu5ev]

Truly a players coach. Love zac and love hes our guy.

[@Carbiniz3r]

I didnt realize how much more Tony Dungy i needed in my life running interviews. Dudes great.

[@brandonwalters9437]

I’ve never seen my city more exited for this. Not even in 05 for the 1st playoff game in years. I was 9 the last time the Bengals got here so I just remember the game and having my heart crushed at the end. Don’t remember the fan base enthusiasm. Cincinnati is loving every minute of this.

[@josephtorres1406]

Cincinnati is the Amazing Story of thier own Super Bowl

[@SantinoCorleon1]

Go get you a Lombardi Zac

[@MRkriegs]

great conversation, good job coach Dungy!

[@shadow_matrix7239]

Robbed of Coach of the year

[@makeit-takeit6707]

No doubt about it. Clear cut winner of that accolade. Oh, well.

[@BrotherApexx]

They'll see when he hoists that Lombardi.

[@makeit-takeit6707]

@@BrotherApexx I ain't even worried about it. 👍

[@trishazimmerman381]

Very nice interview!! Thank you Zac!

[@alancastle5231]

Awesome interview !

[@onenationunderground2360]

Tony Dungy for commissioner.

[@stevemiller1345]

Amazing how winning can change your attitude towards a guy... how he's handled this year is really impressive. i love how disciplined his team is. First time hearing about him getting fired in PBS, a great story, and his sister is special needs but is a Special Olympics swimmer. good stuff.

[@MattyIcecubes]

I'm a Bengals fan and all this seems surreal.

[@jhy2kmoney]

As an NFL fan I watched him interacted with his QB on TV a bunch of game especially during playoff I was so impressed with his temperament.

[@jakenbake9878]

I wasn’t sure at first but I’m sold. This is our guy. I might question some play calls from time to time but this is the man to lead the bengals. On and off the field.

[@rgarrison1819]

I wish this Man and His Bengals Much Future Success!!!,Starting February 13th 2022 at Super Bowl LVI!!!,Who-Dey Baby!!!

[@darylhoskins5696]

Love Tony too, He got Ripped off in Tampa Bay ,Was His Team that won That Super Bowl and Yet never Heard Him say a Bad Word about any of It!

[@rik4369]

That was one of the dirtiest things I have seen done in the NFL. The worst part is they bring in Gruden that coached the Raiders the year before. Smells like a nice little SET UP. Coach Dungey is an class human being.

[@StullaKingKuul]

I like something about this guy i can see why they never panic on the field just going off his energy.

[@haroldfloyd5518]

I would buy anything Tony Dungy was selling! But of course, he’s Tony Dungy, so he’s not selling anything, he’s giving you the absolute straight goods.

[@michaelt.wardlespider2496]

This season seems like it is destined to be a movie, especially with a victory. The entire thing is a great story...

[@billjenkins2503]

Tony is a great interviewer and a great person, much respect.

[@yee2urhaw246]

i think after 16 years of ML we deserve a coach like zac who is likeable, listens to and cares about his players, and is actually able to turn a locker room around. of course we wouldnt be here without joey b, but we also wouldnt be here if ML was still coach, even with this roster.

[@nicholsjonte]

The team wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Marvin Lewis, coach Lewis rebuilt the team that coach Taylor could come in and be able to get us to a Superbowl the first place his players may not have fit his current system but we would not be in the situation we're in if it wasn't for Marvin Lewis the year before Louis started we were 2 + 12

[@jakenbake9878]

It was time to move on but Marvin Lewis did so much good for this team. They just couldn’t win a damn playoff game! Maybe if Carson didn’t get hurt against Pit…

[@smax4895]

Such a great interview. Zac is ahead of his time. Smart man

[@jacobk4n3]

Love this man

[@billjenkins2503]

This season's success will give coach Taylor the confidence to progress as a coach and he will be even better next year. I agree with him, Cincinnati is a great place to raise a family.

[@jimmykeepingit100always6]

Good interview between the coaches

[@adfresh2266]

That's our coach. Let's do this. Who Dey!

[@josephtorres1406]

Purrfect Coach

[@perrisblair4070]

Go get your world Championship coach 🐅🐅

[@josephtorres1406]

Yes indeedey

[@jimshmee]

Great interview aside: This lighting and camera set up is effing beautiful. Kudos to the NBC crew.

[@cincyfanjunglecity9871]

Let's go coach !!!! Win us a super bowl !!!!

[@duckets8340]

LETS GO BENGALS. LETS MAKE HISTORY. WE LOVE THE BENGALS

[@tmo8284]

This team is the Greatest Show on Turf 2.0. You better believe top flight free agents will be coming to Cincinnati. 4th best Salary Cap position and with the draft. Bengals are currently playing with House Money. Very young squad as well. I see multiple championships in the future 📈📈📈

[@frankystrings]

Stop with that house money stuff yea they have promise but nothing is guaranteed. They said the same thing about mahomes and rodgers....

[@briananderson9650]

Top notch coach

[@dayleharper5837]

Proud of Coach. His energy is everything Cincinnati needs right now

[@peanutuptop]

Well Spoken !!

[@OH_DADD_IO]

One more day guys 😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️

[@Mekinhumbel]

Just one more dey

[@WenD1908]

Another example of you never know where life will take you. Great story.

[@uttermanbo]

Nobody has ever really talked about this guy. Not just because he is in Cincy, but because he just coaches football. No flash, but I really believe that you need both a good coach and Quarterback to make a deep playoff run. Cincy had a great roster in the 2010's. Unfortunately they had an average QB, and a coach who really never put it all together. Andy Dalton and Marvin Lewis are great human beings. Marvin in particular deserves more credit for changing the culture in Cincy. He just couldn't get over the hump.

[@bigtime8924]

That’s my coach !

[@fredburks5037]

Played against him in high school, actually got a pic off him lol. He was one heck of a athlete, but kudos to him.

[@patwickgriff]

Go Bengals!

[@jordanrowland9426]

He is the definition if you get the coach right and a quarterback right you can go and win a Super Bowl

[@Z33RO]

Zac Taylor is awesome. I don't care what anyone says

[@gabelincoln3608]

I’m going to be honest I’m a bengals fan and I wasn’t convinced at the beginning of the year but I damn sure am now

[@nicholasfrat7659]

Nebraska is behind you Coach!

[@Nico-ur2po]

I used to hate him, now I watch him talking and all I can think "That's my boy!" lol

[@dproukous1570]

Seems like a great! Come on Tony ask him what he's going to do to protect the #1 reason they are in SB ,Joe Burrow, in the future

[@steveandersen2291]

Who Dey ,no Who DAT!!!

[@TheMrBadua]

Great interview! I do wish Tony would ask him why the Bengals don't have an indoor practice faculty tho....

[@wiles3953]

Who Deyyyyyyy

[@whodey2621]

LETS GO BENGALS!!!!!

[@tallyfye9594]

He’l be back.🔄

[@A_Realist]

Seems likable

[@bishopsteiner7134]

the thing I saw and noticed in that first season, was that as bad as it went the team never quit. That is your weather gauge. If the players are still buying in, you know you have a chance. Looks like Detroit might be seeing something similar with Dan Campbell. That second season, we probably coulda had 3-4 more wins if Joe B hadn't got kneecapped, but if we got those wins.. would we have landed Ja'Marr Chase? WHO DEY!

[@bobedwards7455]

Seems like a good dude..

[@SuperEmmanuel619]

not bad

[@2sday538]

This guy has a slight resemblance to a Bill Lambeer back in his playing days.

[@switcheroo1759]

Baby lambeer

[@joelt236]

Ted lasso vibes.

[@TrendSettaRico]

Who Dey

[@TrevWILL79]

Coaching is about connections. Every job he got, he was connected. Now do you see how potential great coaches get left out? Pipelines and exposure. If you don’t have one. You don’t get in.

TRUCK CONVOY SHUT DOWN THE SUPER BOWL

[@icee5606]

And shame on all truckers if they do it. #1 Truck Stops are one of the number one trafficking locations-for decades. #2 It's all in vain unless they are willing to shut down ALL major sporting events, concerts, close ALL amusement parks, and ALL State Parks. The Operation Leaders will LITERALLY laugh in the face of every protestor an trucker. Because closing events down will do NOTHING to slow it down. #3 As a victim of it and other serious crimes against children I am embarrassed and furious to see such ignorance from society! Your posters and closing events and yelling doesn't save a single victim! ONLY PUBLIC EDUCATION OF OPERATIONS, SPOTTERS, AND SIGNS FROM FELLOW CITIZENS WITH MORAL COURAGE HELP!!!! When I was used one summer as a bait girl at 12 hundreds of people didn't even noticed I existed over the whole course of the summer! #4 if the convoy cared they would be helping authorities quietly and then share the head count of rescued victims and arrested traffickers the following morning! But NO everyone just wants media attention and a reason to fuel the apostate mentality. SHAME ON THEM ALL FOR IT!

[@bobbyrobby3600]

Let the truckers stop the WOKE NFL owners game.
