The hunt for the next Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator continues.
Two of the prominent candidates linked to head coach Zac Taylor’s new staff are now non-options. Taylor and Jack Del Rio reportedly decided together the fit wasn’t right.
Now it turns out Dom Capers turned down a chance at the job:
Capers fizzled out in a bad way recently with Green Bay, so this isn’t too much of a loss for the Bengals.
It would also explain why a new report suggests the team has reached out to the Los Angeles Rams seeking permission to interview Aubrey Pleasant.
At this point, the Bengals are in a bit of an unknown space when it comes to defensive coordinator, which is unfortunate because it’s arguably the most critical hire. Taylor, after all, is an offensive-minded coach who will focus most of his attention on that side of the ball.
