The Cincinnati Bengals have a void to fill at offensive line coach and hope to poach from the Detroit Lions.
According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Bengals will interview Lions offensive line coach Hank Fraley to fill the spot left empty by Jim Turner’s departure.
Fraley is widely respected as one of the better line coaches in the league. A former 10-year NFL player, Fraley started coaching offensive lines in 2012 at the collegiate level and joined the Lions last year.
If he gets the gig in Cincinnati, Fraley would be responsible for coaching up first-round product Jonah Williams and helping the team potentially draft a name like Penei Sewell in the first round of this year’s draft. His extensive experience all over the NFL as a player and coach would help in free agency too.
Lions OL coach Hank Fraley is expected to interview tomorrow for the OL job. He did a really good job with the Lions this season https://t.co/q0Su0dhg0A
