News around the Cincinnati Bengals kicked up a notch without much warning this week, largely because of further changes to the coaching staff as the overhaul continues in the wake of Brian Callahan’s departure.
Those Bengals lost another coach and a critical one, at that, with the college game coming in and grabbing a name from the team’s staff.
With another coach, though, the Bengals actually blocked another pro team’s interview request, instead promoting the target of said interview, one of two promotions on the week as the overhaul of the staff continues.
Here’s a look at the must-know Bengals news, notes and quotes for February 9.
