Bengals DC facing leaguewide disrespect
Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo has helped lead the Bengals to two straight AFC Championship appearances with one of the better defenses in the NFL. However, he has yet to receive a single interview for a head-coaching vacancy this year.
ESPN analyst Louis Riddick didn't mince words in a Tweet about the coach.
Anarumo's defense was the fifth best in points per game during the regular season (20.1). It's also the second best in the postseason (13.5) and the best of the team that have played two playoff games.
His lack of national attention has many confused. So, media personality Pat McAfee asked him why he isn't getting any head-coaching opportunities.
"I wish I had the answer for you," Anarumo said on "The Pat McAfee Show." "I have no idea, but we're just worried about beating the Chiefs this weekend."
He did have one opportunity last offseason, and he didn't take it for granted.
"I had a chance last year with the Giants. I interviewed for that job around this time last year. That was a great experience," Anarumo added.
At least Bengals fans will be please he's sticking around.
