It has been a long search for the Bengals to find the right candidate for their defensive coordinator vacancy. They finally accomplished that feat by hiring Lou Anarumo. He is coming over from the Giants after coaching their defensive backs for a year.
Anarumo and Zac Taylor previously coached together with the Dolphins where both finished the 2015 season as interim coordinators for their respective sides of the ball. Aside from that, Anarumo has never been a defensive coordinator at the NFL level. He has been an assistant coach in the NFL since 2012, which started on Miami’s staff.
