Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis moved quickly to fill his coaching vacancies and when the dust cleared Monday he had the most experienced staff of his 14 seasons in Cincinnati.
It’s believed that Lewis is on the verge of announcing new coaches for quality control on offense and an assistant in the secondary, but over the weekend and Monday he finalized deals for two former NFL coordinators and a 21-year NFL veteran to coach three positions. That came on the heels of Friday’s signing of linebackers coach Jim Haslett, a former defensive coordinator for four teams.
Lewis and defensive coordinator Paul Guenther dug into their past to find the experience when they hired Kevin Coyle to coach the secondary and Jacob Burney to coach the defensive line.
