The Cincinnati Bengals and head coach Zac Taylor have started the coaching search in earnest after firing defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo on Monday.
But Anarumo doesn’t sound like a guy who will be out of work for long.
According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, several different places already have an interest in Anarumo’s services: “There are several head coaching candidates hoping to land Anarumo on their staff as defensive coordinator.”
No great shock here. Anarumo has a fantastic reputation around the league, especially after he started making a name for himself as a Patrick Mahomes-stopper.
From an outsider’s perspective, there is some debate as to whether the Bengals front office letting talent like Jessie Bates get away really sabotaged Anarumo.
Given the bold move to let Anarumo walk, it will be worth watching to see if he can spur a similar defensive revival elsewhere if and when he lands a new gig.
