After being spurned by Dom Capers, the Bengals are expanding their search for a new defensive coordinator.
According to NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero, Cincinnati is scanning the NFL and college football landscape:
New #Bengals coach Zac Taylor is running thorough search for defensive coordinator/staff. Among those expected to get interview requests: ex-#Falcons DC Marquand Manuel, Texas A&M DC Mike Elko, Florida DC Todd Grantham, #Saints DB coach Aaron Glenn, #Rams DB coach Aubrey Pleasant

The only coach in that group with actual NFL experience is Marquand Manuel, The Bengals actually selected Manuel in the sixth round of the 2002 NFL Draft, and he played for the team for two seasons in 2002-03.
