Zac Taylor, head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl 2022, married into a football family.
His wife, Sarah Taylor, is the daughter of former Packers and Texas A&M head coach Mike Sherman.
The couple met at the University of Nebraska, where Zac was the quarterback and Sarah was a graduate assistant for the football team.

I kind of just stalked him until he asked me out. Luckily he did.”
The couple has four kids — two boys and two girls — which means Sarah has her hands full in the household while Zac works long hours at the demanding job. The family has also had five moves since Zac began his coaching career in 2008.
“Some dark times,” Sarah admitted. “It’s just hard when you have a guy working that hard, and I know he’s doing it all the right way, and I knew we were going to get there. I just didn’t know how fast we would, so I’m just really proud of him.”

“The day it happened, I can tell you exactly where I was,” she told WKRC in January. “I was in my house in California. I dropped to my knees and was like, ‘Is this real life?’ I love it here, the people are so good.
