Cincinnati, Ohio (AP) – The Cincinnati Bengals found their next offensive coordinator without having to look very far. Dan Pitcher, the quarterbacks coach, was merely promoted by the team.

On Thursday, a day after Brian Callahan departed to accept the position of head coach with the Tennessee Titans, pitcher received the official job offer.

Pitcher, 37, recently completed his ninth year as a coach for Cincinnati. He was Joe Burrow’s position coach for the last four seasons, having previously worked as an offensive assistant (2016–18) and assistant QBs coach (2019).

“This is the perfect situation. Pitcher remarked, “I’ve had the benefit of growing up here. It was here that I received my coaching education from some truly excellent individuals. You don’t often get the opportunity to advance your profession through all those phases in one location.
