Lou Anarumo is multiple. Just the way Zac Taylor likes his football and his coaches. Anarumo, installed Thursday as the Bengals defensive coordinator, is a Staten Island guy who raised his kids in the Midwest. The kid that went to Giants Stadium regularly growing up to watch his favorite player, Hall-of-Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor, grew up to coach a Giants safety to the Pro Bowl. The guy raised in the NFL on former Bengals assistant Kevin Coyle’s 4-3 defense in Miami got a blast of the 3-4 last season under James Bettcher with the Giants.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor is bent on building a staff of communicators and in Lou Anarumo he gets a guy with a varied background of success. 

Lou Anarumo comes to Cincinnati from the New York Giants, where he served as defensive backs coach in 2018. Prior to joining the Giants last season, he was defensive backs coach for the Miami Dolphins from 2012-17.

Get to know Brian Callahan the Bengals’ new offensive coordinator. From playing club hockey at UCLA, throwing balls in practice to Jerry Rice and coaching Peyton Manning, here are five fun facts about Callahan and how he’s carved his own path to success.

Press Taylor, one of the men credited with the biggest trick play in Super Bowl history via his photographic memory dubbed “Press’s vault,” by his fellow assistants on the Eagles’ coaching staff, is just like the rest of us. He’s intrigued to know what kind of playbook older brother Zac assembles in his first year as head coach of the Bengals. He's got an idea, but maybe he'll get a better one at next week's NFL scouting combine that won't be like all the rest for the Brothers Taylor.
