Finally, the Cincinnati Bengals have a defensive coordinator.

New York Giants defensive backs coach Lou Anarumo is leaving the NFC East to reunite with first-time coach Zac Taylor, the team announced Thursday.

Anarumo and Taylor worked together with the Miami Dolphins.

“I’ve always had great respect for Lou, and I know he is a tremendous defensive coach,” said Taylor in a statement. “He’s a great fit for what we want to build here in Cincinnati. Lou is an excellent communicator who the players will have great respect for, and he will get the best out of them.
