If you look at what Paul said, it sounds like either he just contacted Mike and offered input on the linemen he had worked with, or they reached out to Paul and he chose to talk to Mike directly - 'I go right to the top'. Either way, they ended up getting input from both Paul and Willie...both guys had worked with Carman personally, but in Duke's case, he reached out to Willie.

I'm sure the Bengals also talked to Duke Manyweather, Dabo Sweeny, and Robbie Caldwell. They might have even called his High School Coach in Fairfield lol.
