The Cincinnati Bengals are actively seeking a new defensive coordinator after parting ways with Lou Anarumo. Safety Daijahn Anthony hinted that a decision regarding Anarumo's successor might already be in place, stating in a TikTok live session, "Yes bro, it's gonna shock a lot of y'all." He expressed excitement about the potential change, indicating it would mark a new journey for the team.

Although the Bengals have yet to officially announce the new hire, Anthony revealed that the decision could have been made earlier on Thursday. His comments come after the team interviewed several candidates for the position earlier this week. The Bengals’ coaching staff is under scrutiny as they aim to improve their defense ahead of the upcoming season.
