NFL Rumors: Bengals Fire Multiple Asst. Coaches, HC Will Come from 'The Outside'
The Cincinnati Bengals already fired head coach Marvin Lewis after missing the playoffs for the third consecutive year, and they are reportedly moving on from a number of assistant coaches as well.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, linebackers coach Jim Haslett, tight ends coach Jonathan Hayes and running backs coach Kyle Caskey are among those who will not return to the staff in 2019.
Michael Silver of NFL.com noted those assistants are being told the next head coach has other candidates in place to take their spots, which "strongly suggests that an outside candidate will get the job."
