Looking at the coaching staff, it's clear that the Offensive and head coaches came up through the WR/QB coaching ranks. The staff has exactly two coaches who have ever coached OL, Pollack, the OL coach, and Frazier, the assistant OL coach. The RB coach had one college coaching year as a "run game coordinator". On defense there is more cross-over with coaches having had college DC roles and multiple position groups (still thin at DL coaching) The Bengals lean heavily on their coaches for scouting, and the overall Bengals coaching experience is very thin at OL and DL.
One of my complaints about the OL is that they never seem to get better or even stay the same. Other units can occasionally hit gold with late picks and at least have a solid hit rate in the top 3 rounds. It makes me question if the team knows what they are doing. If they have bad coaching, would they even know it?
