Early career Taylor joined the
University of Tulsa coaching staff under head coach
Bill Blankenship in 2011 as the offensive graduate assistant and quarterbacks coach (Tulsa did not have a full-time QB coach, allowing Taylor to handle those duties). During his 2 seasons at Tulsa, the Golden Hurricane compiled a 19–8 record and won the 2012 Conference USA Championship as well as the 2012 AutoZone Liberty Bowl defeating Iowa State. In 2011, under Taylor's direction, senior quarterback
G. J. Kinne was named 2nd Team All-C-USA and threw for over 3,000 yards.
Philadelphia Eagles In 2013, Taylor was hired by the
Philadelphia Eagles as an offensive quality control coach under head coach
Chip Kelly. With the hiring of new head coach
Doug Pederson in 2016, Taylor was retained and promoted to offensive quality control and assistant quarterbacks coach under new offensive coordinator
Frank Reich. Taylor was part of the coaching staff that won
Super Bowl LII and is credited with the "Philly Special" play which gave the Eagles a touchdown in the closing seconds of the first half. After the 2017 season, he was again promoted, this time to quarterbacks coach to replace
John DeFilippo, who left at the end of the season to become offensive coordinator for the
Minnesota Vikings. Taylor added the title of passing game coordinator on February 5, 2020, reporting directly to Pederson. He missed the team's week 11 game in 2020 against the
Cleveland Browns due to
COVID-19 pandemic protocols. Following the 2020 season, in which the Eagles went 4–11–1, it was reported that Pederson sought to promote Taylor to offensive coordinator, along with other staff changes. However, the Eagles fired Pederson, and Taylor along with the rest of the passing staff was not retained.
Indianapolis Colts For the 2021 season, Taylor served as a senior offensive assistant to
Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich. They organized a trade to obtain Eagles quarterback
Carson Wentz, reuniting three key offensive strategists from the Eagles' Super Bowl winning season. Taylor split play calling duties in
2022. The Jaguars were 5th in the NFL in second half scoring under Taylor, leading Pederson to making him the full-time playcaller. The
Jacksonville Jaguars were a top 10 passing unit in 2022 and 2023 before QB
Trevor Lawrence dealt with numerous injuries.
Chicago Bears After Pederson was fired by the Jaguars, on January 29, 2025, Taylor joined the
Chicago Bears to serve as their pass-game coordinator under new head coach
Ben Johnson. The
Bears finished 10th in passing in 2025 on their way to capturing the
NFC North. On February 18, 2026, Taylor was promoted to offensive coordinator for the Bears. ==Personal life==
