A solemn Marvin Lewis met with the media Friday at 1 p.m. at Paul Brown Stadium and preached better execution and preparation on offense, but did not immediately announce any changes to the staff or starting personnel as the team breaks for the weekend.
That changed soon after, when it was confirmed by The Enquirer the Bengals let go of their offensive coordinator who took over for Hue Jackson in 2016. The club made the change official at 2:30 p.m.
Quarterbacks coach Bill Lazor will assume play-calling duties. He is the lone member of the offensive staff to have that experience, serving as the Miami Dolphins' offensive coordinator from 2014 and through most of 2015.
