The Bulldogs are reportedly set to add current North Sydney Bears coach Jason Taylor to their ranks for the 2024 season.

Taylor has previously held coaching positions at the Rabbitohs, Eels and Tigers before joining the NSW Cup side in September 2018.

According to The Daily Telegraph, Taylor’s deal is almost finalised after a meeting in Belmore earlier this month.

Taylor coached the Bears during this year’s NSW Cup grand final, going down to the Rabbitohs 22-18.

His last NRL head coaching role was with the Tigers, being appointed head coach in 2014 before he was ultimately sacked in 2017.

Taylor could take the place or join this year’s assistant duo of Chad Randall and Mick Potter.

Potter stepped in as interim coach in 2022 after Trent Barrett was sacked following a string of poor performances.

I think this is a good signing. Some will base their opinions on him based on his NRL head coaching past, but he has been involved as an assistant with successful teams (Roosters), has plenty of experience and knowledge of the game, and has done good things with the Bears' NSW Cup team. The fact that Roosters welcomed him back in 2017 suggests they were happy with his work, so if he's good enough for them, he is definitely good enough for us.
