The Cincinnati Bengals are still without a defensive coordinator, and with many turning down the position, should Zac Taylor reach out to Rex Ryan?
On the surface level, Ryan would be a quintessential candidate for defensive coordinator. Look at his resume.
- Five-plus years as an NFL coach
- Five-plus years as a defensive coordinator
- Ties to Cincinnati
- Decades of experience in coaching and commentary
The Bengals need an experienced head coach.
While Florida’s Todd Grantham might’ve been the team’s ideal candidate, the Bengals are coming off one of the worst defensive seasons of all time and need experience leading the unit.
With decades of experience, why not target a coach like Ryan to pair with a first-year head coach in Taylor?
