Since Zac Taylor accepted the job to become the head coach of the Bengals in January 2019, he’s made a concerted effort to immerse himself in the community.

From taking signed footballs to local bars after playoff wins to attending high school football games and University of Cincinnati basketball games, he has shown that connecting with the city of Cincinnati is important to him.

His most recent act of generosity continues to showcase the impact Taylor is making during his time leading the Bengals.

NFL reporter Jay Morrison, who currently works for Sports Illustrated covering the Bengals and has covered the team as a full-time beat reporter since 2012, tragically lost his wife Nicki due to unexpected complications during a medical procedure on Dec. 22, 2025. 

Morrison immediately stepped away from covering the team, and the news made its way to Taylor. At one of his lowest moments, Morrison said, he received a phone call from Taylor that left him speechless. He was watching home movies of him and Nicki bringing home their son Braden from the hospital in 2000 when his phone lit up with a call from Taylor.

Taylor heard Morrison was planning a celebration of life for his wife and offered to pay for the event with the help of Brian Callahan, former offensive coordinator of the Bengals.

“Two weeks before the event, Zac called me and said he wanted to reiterate that he and Brian wanted to pay for everything and that he was going to give the hotel event director his credit card number because he didn’t want me to have to worry about anything other than planning the event and being there for my family,” Morrison told The Enquirer on Feb. 4.
