When the Bengals hired James Urban back in 2011, they felt as if they had a star on the staff. While he helped mold A.J. Green into a perennial Pro Bowl receiver and oversaw some solid seasons from Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones, Urban wasn’t quite able to get the most out the group amidst major transition the past two years.
Urban has since moved on to Baltimore this offseason and the Bengals have brought in longtime NFL position coach, Bob Bicknell. For a guy who is 48 years old, his obtaining of 27 straight seasons of coaching at the college, NFL and NFL Europe is impressive.
