Someone had to fall on the sword, and it ended up being the \u201cmad scientist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"brP2i5\">According to The Athletic\u2019s Dianna Russini, Anarumo is drawing interest, specifically from head-coaching candidates around the league who are looking to add an experienced defensive coordinator if they land the job.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2ViNQv\">This makes sense, considering Zac Taylor brought Anarumo to Cincinnati under those exact circumstances, and just two years later, the Bengals beat Pat Mahomes\u2019 Chiefs late in the season to win the division and again a few weeks later in the AFC Championship game.<\/p>\n<p id=\"0XVC4E\">Since then, Anarumo has interviewed for several head-coaching positions but was never picked. Instead, teams across the league are looking to offensive-minded coaches to groom young quarterbacks.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OtvWvb\">The NFL is a copycat league, though, and a young offensive-minded head coach candidate may look to Anarumo to help him out the way he helped Taylor in Cincinnati.<\/p>\n<p id=\"XeUW8W\">We now know one team interested, as the Indianapolis Colts will interview Anarumo next week.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Colts?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Colts<\/a> have begun their defensive coordinator search, with former <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Bengals?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Bengals<\/a> DC Lou Anarumo and longtime NFL coach Steve Wilks among those expected to interview next week, per sources.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomPelissero\/status\/1877383693192331682?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 9, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"hXV642\">Even though the Colts aren\u2019t looking for a new head coach, Shane Steichen is still one of the league\u2019s youngest head coaches at just 39 years old, so having a veteran like Anarumo leading the defense could be a much-needed boost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s not really all that surprising.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9905,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9904","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 -
