Twitter Reaction To The Hiring Of Coach Taylor

A look back at the coverage from the NFL Combine and how the Bengals are evaluating future players.

Jim Turner may be the oldest coach on Zac Taylor's staff of millennials, the post-Freezer Bowl generation born when the Bengals had already made a Super Bowl. But deep down, Turner, 54, Taylor's key-piece-in-the-puzzle offensive line coach.

The Bengals announced the hiring of six assistants for the team's 2019 coaching staff. The new assistants include Nick Eason (defensive line), Tem Lukabu (linebackers), Brad Kragthorpe (offensive assistant), Jordan Kovacs (defensive quality control), Todd Hunt (assistant strength and conditioning) and Garrett Swanson (assistant strength and conditioning).

Count Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan firmly in the John Ross Camp. Wednesday morning head coach Zac Taylor and director of player personnel Duke Tobin shot down the Ross trade rumors and Wednesday afternoon Callahan outlined why.

The new face of the Bengals' management team made its national debut Wednesday during the NFL scouting combine and Duke Tobin and Zac Taylor were on the same page. They have been. Enough so that when some people at Paul Brown Stadium have gone looking for one of them, they have hurriedly coined a name.

That John Ross trade story surfacing Tuesday as the NFL descended on the scouting combine with how both sides were seeking a new start took one of the sides by surprise.

A look back at how the Bengals 2018 draft class performed in various drills at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Even though he rushed for the most yards by a Bengal in a decade and gave the club its first AFC rushing championship ever, that wasn't Joe Mixon's favorite stat from 2018.

Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley and Hamilton Commissioner Denise Driehaus officially welcomed Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and declared Feb. 25 "Zac Taylor Day."

As new head coach Zac Taylor continues to build his staff, the readers weigh in.

Elements to the 2019 season are beginning to take shape after the Bengals hired Lou Anarumo as its new defensive coordinator. It's mock draft season as well as projections continue for who the Bengals will take with the 11th overall pick.

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.
