All has been quiet on the Cincinnati Bengals coordinator front since it was reported Zac Taylor would fill the head coaching position to lead the franchise into the future.

Taylor can't officially be announced until the Los Angeles Rams are eliminated from the playoffs. But the offensive and defensive coordinator positions, vital for a 35-year-old entering his first job as head coach, can be filled.

The latest

The Bengals are reportedly targeting an experienced, veteran defensive coordinator. Jack Del Rio and John Fox are two candidates that match the description.

The Detroit Lions hired Darrell Bevell as offensive coordinator on Wednesday. The former Seattle Seahawks OC was reported earlier this week to be in the running to join future coach Zac Taylor's staff with the Bengals.

The Bengals and offensive line coach Frank Pollack parted ways earlier this week. That leaves quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt and wide receivers coach Bob Bicknell as the only offensive position coaches remaining from Marvin Lewis' staff. Special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons, secondary coach Robert Livingston and cornerbacks coach Daronte Jones also remain. Offensive coordinator Bill Lazor and special assistant Hue Jackson were among those let go last week.
