The Bengals could be eyeing a versatile linebacker from the University of Cincinnati. The Pro Day marathon is well underway. One of the Cincinnati Bengals’ newest assistant coaches — linebackers coach James Bettcher — didn’t have to travel too far to attend the University of Cincinnati’s Pro Day.
The 49ers linebacker is happy for his former coach getting to coach another good room of linebackers with the Bengals. The Cincinnati Bengals replaced Al Golden with former 49ers assistant coach James Bettcher.

The Bengals officially hired three assistant coaches on Tuesday. James Bettcher is their new linebackers coach, Charles Burks will coach the secondary and Derek Frazier is their new assistant offensive line coach. Bettcher, 42, brings nine years of NFL coaching experience.
Another coach is reportedly getting poached from the San Francisco 49ers. Senior defensive assistant and run game specialist James Bettcher is headed to the Cincinnati Bengals to become their linebackers coach, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The Bengals are hiring James Bettcher to be their new linebackers coach according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The 42-year-old was a senior defensive assistant for the 49ers last season.
