Bengals’ Lou Anarumo isn’t a fan of a funny nickname he’s earned

Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo isn’t a fan of a nickname raised by fans and onlookers.

One of the league’s best defensive minds, Dan Hoard recently informed Anarumo that he’s earned the nickname “Lou-dini” in some circles.

Anarumo was pretty quick to shoot it down — with good cause while laughing it off, too.

“I don’t want to know any of this stuff,” Anarumo said. “I just want to win the game. My kids will make fun of me if I say something like that.”

A critical part of Cincinnati’s success and returning again despite head coach interviews as the Bengals enjoy more continuity across the coaching staff, Anarumo’s results-focused approach isn’t a shocker.

Still, “Lou-dini” has a nice ring to it, so it even coming up might only help it spread faster.
