He and line coach Paul Alexander directed the line last season to a pass protection effort that saw the Bengals finish tied for fourth in the NFL in fewest sacks allowed (25).
The line found some stability with three young veterans—LT Andrew Whitworth, C Kyle Cook and LG Nate Livings—all starting every game. And RT Andre Smith, the Bengals first-round draft choice in 2009, hit his stride after being held back by injuries in his first two seasons.
Caskey came to Cincinnati from the University of Mississippi, where he served in 2009 as a defensive assistant working with safeties and quality control. In addition to his on-field work, he handled all opponent offensive breakdowns and scouting report materials.
Caskey entered college coaching in 2004 at Louisiana-Monroe as a graduate assistant. He coached safeties in 2004 and linebackers in ’05. In 2005, the Warhawks were Sun Belt Conference co-champions.
From 2006-08, Caskey was at Indiana State. In 2008, he coached the TEs and RBs while also serving as recruiting coordinator. The ’08 ISU recruit class was ranked seventh among NCAA FCS teams by Rivals.com. He was TE/WRs coach at Indiana State in 2006, and was defensive line coach/recruiting coordinator in ’07.
He has earned a bachelor’s degree in industrial distribution from Texas A&M, and he holds master’s degrees from both A&M (agribusiness) and Louisiana-Monroe (instructional technology).
Caskey is married (wife Kayla), and his hometown is Daingerfield, Texas. He played tight end at Texas A&M in 1997-98, and while he was on the team, the Aggies won a Big 12 championship (1998) and played in the Cotton and Sugar bowls.
He was a four-year Aggie letterman in track and field from 1999-2002, including 2000 All-Big 12 honors in the discus. He earned Big 12 All-Academic honors three times — in 2000, ’01 and ’02.
