Marion Hobby, the team\u2019s defensive line coach, was among them. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo was another one who won\u2019t be returning to the Queen City.<\/p>\n<p id=\"nmkmKq\">As for Hobby, the former third-round pick in the 1990 NFL Draft, started his coaching career in the college ranks before transitioning to the NFL in 2017.<\/p>\n<p id=\"FGUkmg\">He was originally the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive line coach, then jumped to the Miami Dolphins in 2019 for a few seasons and has been with the Bengals since 2021.<\/p>\n<p id=\"NH2jlQ\">The Bengals had one standout on the defensive line in Trey Hendrickson. However, the unit as a whole significantly underperformed expectations, as the Bengals finished 26th in the NFL in sack percentage (5.91%). That must improve moving forward.<\/p>\n<p id=\"iZqtIU\">The defense was the clear weakness for Cincinnati, and now things will have to change. That said, what is your take on Marion Hobby\u2019s firing? Was it justified, or were the other problems in the organization to be blamed?<\/p>\n<p id=\"hScZkx\">Let us know below!<\/p>\n<div id=\"elo8C7\">\n<section data-cdata=\"{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Should the Bengals have fire Marion Hobby?&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:801866,&quot;closed&quot;:false,&quot;votes&quot;:0,&quot;options&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:3559371,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Yes, the defensive line was underwhelming&quot;,&quot;votes&quot;:0},{&quot;id&quot;:3559372,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;No, those issues weren\u2019t necessarily his fault&quot;,&quot;votes&quot;:0},{&quot;id&quot;:3559373,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Eh, let \u2018em all go.&quot;,&quot;votes&quot;:0}]}\" data-cid=\"apps\/poll-1736305821_5708_204036\">\n<div id=\"poll-results\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you think the firing of Hobby was a smart move?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9607,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cincinnati-bengals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
