ESPN's Josina Anderson reports the Bengals have requested an interview with Saints secondary coach Aaron Glenn for their vacated defensive-coordinator role.
Glenn is reportedly next in line after the Bengals were spurned by Dom Capers, Jack Del Rio and Todd Grantham (among others) trying to fill their vacant DC role. Ex-Falcons DC Marquand Manuel, Texas A&M DC Mike Elko, and Rams DBs coach Aubrey Pleasant have also been linked to Cincinnati. The longest-running offseason comedy will continue until someone finally agrees to coach 2018's historically-awful unit.

The Bengals had to wait until after the Super Bowl to hire a head coach. They’re still waiting to get a defensive coordinator.
According to NFL Media, the Bengals wanted to interview new Ohio State defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley for the position. Hafley, however, declined.
As explained by Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Hafley decided that “he’s not going to renege on his commitment to OSU after taking the job last month.” Intended or not, that’s a backhanded slap at Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury, who did just that at USC, leaving the program after a month.
The fact that multiple college defensive coordinators have opted to stay put in lieu of making the jump to the NFL isn’t an ideal look for the Bengals. Regardless of how it looks, it will be hard for new coach Zac Taylor, an offensive specialist, to get to work until he has a defensive coordinator.
With the Scouting Combine less than two weeks away, Taylor and the Bengals surely hope to have a defensive coordinator in place before the trip to Indianapolis. If not, any available defensive coaches may want to hang around town that week, just in case
 
Dolphins hired Ex-Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie as a senior personnel executive.

McKenzie spent seven seasons as Oakland's general manager. He was fired before the end of last year after losing a power struggle with Jon Gruden. A former Executive of the Year, McKenzie is a strong addition to GM Chris Grier's staff. He'll be in the inner circle of Miami's rebuild.

What was your reasoning?
While I'm confident of creating defensive masterplans equal, if not better than Belichick, I don't think I have his experience of dealing with nutjobs that are prevalent in the Bengals D.

I'm anticipating the possibility of a head coaching opportunity in the Victorian League.

If I were taking on such a role in the nfl, I think it's in my best interests for my career to have at least a 3 year deal. However such a deal would preclude me of the opportunity of being dc of the Panthers. A role that I really want and I expect to be available for the following season.

GG.exe which team goes worst to first? It happens once or twice ever year

Jets
- even if Tom Brady has a Peyton Manning 2015 type season, the Pats system will still be good enough to win the division
- I think the Jets will be more competitive and sound under Gase, they could push for .500, but not good enough to win the division just yet

Bengals
- Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield have crazy sophomore slumps, I can see it with Jackson, not so much with Baker
- Steelers completely unravel without much offensive firepower, not enough talent to produce week in week out

Jags
- if they snag Foles I can see this being a very competitive team around that 9 or 10 win tops mark
- Colts moved on their O-line coach, could cause a lack of cohesion and a bit of a downfall for the team perhaps?
- Texans still aren't sound enough and are a little too simple, they can get exploited by the best teams

Raiders
- nope

Giants
- Giants have tried to retool around Eli enough and it's not working
- Eagles and Cowboys still too good

Lions
- this would honestly be my pick if it were any team, Patricia figures it out a bit in his second year, defense and run game improved and able to be leant on, Stafford shows how good he really is
- Bears will have a down year losing some of their defensive staff and talent
- Vikings, time will tell if they fix their O-line, which will be even more important in the Kubiak type offense
- Packers, not enamoured by the LaFleur hire, but they will be competitive in a tough division with all teams hovering around .500
- the part that worries me is the Lions matchup up in that division, I don't like their ability to beat their division rivals

Buccaneers
- maybe Arians can flick a switch, they really need to figure the defense out tho
- Saints are due to fall a bit, two years in a row heartbreaking losses wears on a team
- Falcons SHOULD rise up, but they are still feeling stale two years on

Cardinals
- Rams, 9ers and Hawks will all be competitive in this division
- unless Kingsbury is some genius and Rosen has a huge jump, it won't happen
 
finally!!
the off seasons biggest suspense has been resolved

Bengals hired Lou Anarumo as defensive coordinator.
The Bengals finally fill their defensive coordinator job after weeks of interviews, signing the Giants defensive backs coach Lou Anarumo. Despite a long history as a defensive backs coach both in college and the NFL, Anarumo has only served as a defensive coordinator on an interim basis. Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and Anarumo coached together during stints with the Miami Dolphins.

Over 75 percent of offensive and defensive coordinator positions have changed in just two years

The old adage that the NFL stands for “Not For Long” could apply to coaching staffs just as easily as it can to the players.

As Mike Clay of ESPN showed in a chart posted to his twitter account on Thursday, the turnover among the top three positions on NFL coaching staffs (head coach, offensive/defensive coordinator) over the two last seasons is sizable. The turnover of the coordinator positions, in particular, is staggering.
Since the start of the 2017 NFL season, over 75 percent of coordinator positions in the NFL have changed. Only 15 out of 64 coordinator positions remain the same as they were for the start of the 2017 season. Just four offensive coordinators are serving in the same role: Ken Whisenhunt (Chargers), Josh McDaniels (Patriots), Pete Carmichael (Saints) and Kyle Shanahan (49ers). In fact, half of the league has new offensive coordinators this season alone.
On the defensive side, 11 coordinators remain in place: Leslie Frazier (Bills), Rod Marinelli (Cowboys), Todd Wash (Jaguars), Gus Bradley (Chargers), Wade Phillips (Rams), George Edwards (Vikings), Dennis Allen (Saints), Jim Schwartz (Eagles), Keith Butler (Steelers), Robert Saleh (49ers) and Greg Manusky (Washington).

That’s a turnover rate of 76.6 percent in just two years.

This turnover has happened for a number of reasons. Coordinators are prime candidates to become head coaches and 15 head coaches across 14 teams (Arizona twice) have made changes in the last two years. New head coaches then, mostly, hire new staffs which include new coordinators. Then there are also head coaches that remain in their jobs but change their coordinators in an effort to revitalize their efforts.

The hiring of Lou Anarumo as defensive coordinator by the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday completed the hiring cycle for the 2019 season among the three top coaching positions. The odds say a large number of those coaches will be looking for jobs again after the upcoming year is complete.

Jags for mine. AFC title game two years earlier. 9-7 or 10-6 enough to win the South and the Jags have the talent to do so... maybe not the mentality.
 
Mike McCarthy involved in incident at high-school basketball game
Posted by Mike Florio on February 27, 2019, 10:58 PM EST

For the first time since 1992, former Packers coach Mike McCarthy isn’t at the Scouting Combine. He’d arguably be better off if he had been.
According to FOX 11 in Green Bay, McCarthy was involved in an incidentwith referees at his stepson’s high-school basketball game on Tuesday night.
“This parent chose to follow the officials and berate them, which is clearly unacceptable,” Pulaski High School athletic director Janel Batten told the station. “This parent” was McCarthy.
FOX 11 has obtained security footage which shows Pulaski officials escorting referees from the gymnasium while a man follows them from behind. That man, according to the report, is McCarthy.
“Some things were said, some language was used that we don’t want in our gym, unsportsmanlike language,” Batten said.
One of the referees called the situation “unfortunate,” and described the incident as a “verbal tirade.”
The Packers fired McCarthy during the 2018 season. He generated limited interest among the seven other teams searching for coaches, and he has indicated a desire to return to coaching in 2020
