CINCINNATI — Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher wants to be a head coach in the NFL. He's helped the Bengals become a potent offense—even when Joe Burrow has missed time. So what else does he have to be one of the top head coaching candidates in the league?

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher is reportedly set to interview for an offensive coordinator position with another team.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor has left the door open for offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher to take another OC role.

It could be a natural fit. If Pitcher leaves, the Bengals would seriously consider bringing back former offensive coordinator Brian Callahan. Callahan spent five seasons in Cincinnati (2019-23) as their offensive coordinator. His success with the Bengals helped him become head coach of the Titans in January 2024.

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher has emerged as a leading candidate for the Cleveland Browns ’ head coaching vacancy.

The Bengals offensive coordinator has only talked to one team about a head coach job, but other opportunities could arise.

The Cincinnati Bengals could lose offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher soon. If that happens, it would mark another loss to Zac Taylor’s coaching staff to other teams via promotion.

The Cincinnati Bengals finished off their season with a disappointing 20-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns. The Bengals were fresh off back-to-back dominant wins before the loss against Cleveland.
