CINCINNATI — The Bengals officially introduced new offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher on Thursday. The 37-year-old takes over for Brian Callahan, who spent the past five years in Cincinnati.
Callahan became head coach of the Titans earlier this week, which paved the way for Pitcher’s promotion.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor is expected to call plays again in 2024, but he considered making a change before Callahan landed a head coaching job according to Dave Lapham.
“I heard that Zac Taylor was considering giving up the play calling role to Brian Callahan next season,” Lapham told Lance McAlister on 700 WLW. “That changed when Brian Callahan moved on.”
Callahan will call plays for the Titans next season. And Taylor will likely remain the Bengals’ play caller.
This does show Taylor’s willingness to change. He’s open to ideas, which aligns with what Lapham said later in the interview.
