Minutes following Cincinnati’s agreement with Marvin Lewis to remain as the team’s head coach, reports reemerged that defensive coordinator Paul Guenther will be looking for opportunities elsewhere.
The team released a statement on Tuesday announcing their agreement with Lewis at 5:10 p.m. CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora published a tweet 30 minutes later saying that Guenther is “leaving to explore other options”. It should be noted that the Cincinnati Enquirer broke the original Guenther story, saying that “Enquirer learned via two league sources that Guenther considered moving on should he not be interviewed for the Bengals job” which Lewis retained on Tuesday.
