Mike Jones of USA Today reports that the Bengals have requested permission to interview Rams DBs coach Aubrey Pleasant for their defensive coordinator vacancy.
The Bengals have been linked to a few candidates in recent weeks including Jack Del Rio, Dom Capers and Mike Nolan. However, there hasn’t been much buzz in recent days.
Pleasant took his first college coaching job in 2012 with Michigan as their assistant DBs coach. From there, he worked for the Browns, Redskins before joining the Rams in 2017.
Pleasant has coached both sides of the ball and eventually settled in as the Rams’ DBs coach under Wade Phillips.
