The kids did a great job, my coaching staff did a great job. We were blessed to have a great year.”

Moeller football coach Doug Rosfeld accepts a position with the Bengals
“We had the opportunity to work together pretty closely throughout the season,” Rosfeld told WCPO Jan. 11. “I think brilliant would be the right word to describe Zac Taylor. Driven, purposeful – his ability to teach the position – as a guy that played at a high level and also just understanding the booby traps and the tricks that defenses lay to catch quarterbacks. His ability to teach how to negotiate that was really unique. So from the day you meet him you see a unique football mind.”
Bengals TE coach James Casey was Zac Taylor’s ‘hidden guy’

Andrew Whitworth played role in Bengals hiring Zac Taylor
