A candidate can be crossed off the list for the New England Patriots.
The Cincinnati Bengals have promoted quarterbacks coach Dan Pitcher to offensive coordinator, as first reported Wednesday by NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
Pitcher, 37, had a Zoom interview with head coach Jerod Mayo’s Patriots earlier in the week and was also scheduled to meet with the Las Vegas Raiders and New Orleans Saints. Instead, with incumbent offensive coordinator Brian Callahan hired as the next head coach of the Tennessee Titans, he will remain in the AFC North.
