New DC frontrunner?

[Whodey614]

Found this on CincyJungle about Anarumo's stint as Interim DC in Miami. Take what you want from it.

Quote:Anarumo, In his first game as defensive coordinator, the defense registered six sacks, forced four turnovers and allowed just 10 points to the Tennessee Titans (Oct. 18, 2015). He previously spent eight seasons as the defensive backs coach at Purdue (2004-11).


12 game stat Highlights


Rushing defense improved from 160.5 per game to 108.9 per game (with 6 games holding the opponent to less than 100
Sacks improved from 0.25 to 2.3 per game
Passing yards given up per game went from 239 to 243 per game
Interceptions improved from .73 per game to .83

So aside from YPG increasing by 4, it seems like Miami's defense responded better after he replaced Coyle. Much like our defense improved after Austin got fired. And if I remember correctly, the Dolphins had a lot of injuries that year. They had a few stinkers like giving up 30+ to the Pats, Bills, Jets, and Giants but generally, their defense improved by a decent margin. I don't think he would be a bad hire but then again, I'm going off this small sample. I still believe if the Bengals don't significantly upgrade the LBs (not just drafting Devin White, but investing money in FA), it won't matter who we hire cause teams will just attack the middle of the field again. If we do upgrade LBs, who knows how this guy could do with his own system.
