Hue Jackson may be running the Bengals defense in ‘a few weeks,’ per report

Upon learning that the least successful head coach in Modern NFL history Hue Jackson would be returning to the Bengals’ coaching staff for the third time in his career, it was later revealed Jackson would be helping Marvin Lewis run the defense.

Jackson was given the title “Special Assistant to the Head Coach” but now it seems his title may as well be just defensive coordinator.

Right now, Lewis is the team’s de facto man in that role after he assumed the responsibility himself when the team fired Teryl Austin this week.
