BENGALS IN THE COMMUNITYThe Bengals organization is committed to improving lives in Greater Cincinnati and the surrounding region. Bengals players, coaches and staff acknowledge their unique public role and are devoted to working with non-profit organizations, schools and civic groups to make positive contributions and change. The club promotes an understanding of how team involvement can bring a voice to critical issues. The Bengals welcome the opportunity to give back to a community that has unconditionally supported the team for 45 years. Non-profit organizations throughout Greater Cincinnati and the surrounding region look to the Bengals for assistance. Beneficiaries may receive money, food, toys, clothing, autographed items, tours, training camp visits, or a smile brought about by a visit from a player or coach. Community involvement takes many forms. The Bengals sponsor fundraising events, make donations to many charitable organizations, make personal appearances, and provide vital community information on the teams Web site (www.bengals.com). Staff, players and coaches also serve on various community boards and commissions. The Bengals provide support to the annual United Way of Greater Cincinnati campaign through both corporate and individual gifts by coaches, players and administrative employees. Head coach Marvin Lewis continues to use his voice, doing public service announcements for a range of non-profit organizations in the region. Running backs coach Jim Anderson has been a member on the steering committee of United Ways African-American Leadership Initiative The

REACHING OUT TO HELP OTHERS

Herbert R. Brown Society. Assistant head coach Paul Alexander worked for the D.A.R.E. drug resistance program in schools and gives time to the Boy Scouts. Tight ends coach Jonathan Hayes is a board member of the Greater Cincinnati chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Bengals players also continue to make an impact in their hometown communities and in the TriState area. Veterans and young players alike continue to bring awareness to youth being active through the NFLs Play60 program. They stress importance of education through school initiatives and support charitable events. Many Bengals players have their own foundations or sponsor charitable fund-raising activities dedicated to improving the community. Players in this active role entering 2012 include Andy Dalton, Leon Hall, Thomas Howard, Michael Johnson, Terence Newman, Domata Peko, Pat Sims, Andre Smith and Andrew Whitworth. MARVIN LEWIS COMMUNITY FUND Since Lewis arrived in Cincinnati in 2003, he has strengthened the franchises ties to the community, making almost 400 personal appearances and encouraging the players to become active in the community. In 2003, he launched the highly successful Marvin Lewis Community Fund (MLCF). Since its inception, the MLCF has donated more than $6 million, touched the lives of over 400,000 individuals, and is proud to invest 93 cents of every dollar back into the community. The Community Fund has eight outreach programs that seek to empower, educate and inspire young people in the Greater Cincinnati region. Its two premier programs are: Learning is Cool: This signature program was launched in 2008 and has seen great success in three years. LIC recognizes students in grades onethrough-eight for strong academic performance. Results have been particularly strong in the Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS), where the program started: In the first three years in CPS the number of A honor roll achievements increased by 110 percent. The program also now runs in Covington (Ky.) Public Schools and North College Hill City Schools. There currently are 24,000 students in the program, and further expansion is imminent. Marvin Lewis Scholarship Fund: The Fund awards four-year, $20,000 college scholarships to several outstanding high school seniors each year, enabling them to attend the college of their choice with substantially less financial stress: 41 scholarships have been awarded for a total of over $1.1 million. 12 students have graduated. 28 now are in college and combine for a cumulative GPA of 3.34 (as of December, 2011). Many continue their commitment to community service while in college and some return to volunteer for the Fund whenever their calendar permits. In 2009, Coach Lewis was the first individual to receive the national Steve Patterson Award for Excellence in Sports Philanthropy, recognizing the impact his work has on the community and the example he sets for everyone in professional sports. To learn more, visit www.marvinlewis.org. OTHER TEAM PROGRAMS NFL Grassroots Grant Program: The Bengals and the NFL have teamed up to support youth sports by contributing to local efforts to improve football fields throughout the region. Most recently, Northern Kentuckys Campbell County School District was granted $200,000 toward the completion of a new synthetic field in Alexandria, Ky. Almost $1.5 million has been contributed in past years to Woodward, Withrow, Oak Hills, Lockland and Clinton-Massie high schools to install these state-of-the-art synthetic fields. In addition to boosting football programs, these multi-use fields serve as valuable assets for the entire community.

(Bengals in the Community, continued) Hometown Huddle: The NFL/United Way Hometown Huddle is a day of service that provides NFL players, coaches, wives, and staff from each team, along with volunteers from their communities, the opportunity to create a lasting impression in the city in which they work. In 2011, the Bengals led the way in the renewal of Veterans Park in the Cincinnati suburb of North College Hill. The extensive makeover included a new playground, a Parcourse FitCircuit, a family picnic area, a community garden and a storage shed. Additionally, the space was beautified with the addition of native trees, shrubs, mulch and flowers. Coach of the Week: A league-wide program that is designed to give the recognition that high school football coaches deserve for molding the lives of young adults. Each winners school receives a $1000 donation to the schools football program. Play 60: Bengals players have enthusiastically supported this NFL program that encourages kids to enjoy at least 60 minutes of vigorous outdoor activity per day, and also to adopt a proper diet. Some players have reached the 10-15 range in number of school visits. Taste of the NFL: Bengals players, coaches and alumni join with benefactors of the Freestore Foodbank while dining on samples from over 40 of Cincinnatis finest restaurants. The Bengals Taste of the NFL has been held each year since 2003, and in 2011, with nearly 1000 guests in attendance, the

event raised more than $120,000, helping the Freestore Foodbank to provide more than 400,000 meals during the year to our neighbors in need. Hoxworth Blood Drive: Bengals coaches, players, alumni, cheerleaders and staff are present annually at Paul Brown Stadium to help the Hoxworth Blood Center collect donations before the busy holiday season. In 2005, the drive earned the Bengals a Special Recognition Award from Americas Blood Centers, an organization based in Washington, D.C. The drive, entering its 11th year in 2012, has set numerous records for largest single-day blood drive in Greater Cincinnati. Canned Food Drive: For more than a decade, the Bengals have conducted a canned food drive to benefit Cincinnatis Freestore/Foodbank. In 2011, more than 8000 pounds of non-perishable and canned goods were collected, and fans with no food to offer contributed more than $14,000 in cash. During the drives history, an estimated 118,000 pounds of food and $107,000 in donations have been secured. Toys for Tots: The Bengals also designate one home game per year when fans are asked to bring new toys or cash donations to benefit underprivileged children during the holiday season. Last years drive netted 2,748 toys and $33,675 in cash.

COACHING STAFFMARVIN LEWIS HEAD COACHMarvin Lewis is in his 10th season as Bengals head coach, having posted the most wins (69) in franchise history. He has led the team to the postseason in two of the last three years. Lewis Bengals were one of the NFLs surprise teams last season, a young squad with new stars that posted a 9-7 record and earned a Wild Card playoff berth. Cincinnati lost at Houston in the Wild Card game, but the point was already made the Bengals far exceeded widespread forecasts that they would not be a playoff contender. Regarded among the NFLs top defensive minds, Lewis in 2011 revamped a Cincinnati offense that had struggled in 2010. Under new coordinator Jay Gruden, the offense featured rookie standouts in QB Andy Dalton and WR A.J. Green, and the young unit played superbly in clutch situations, winning five games featuring fourthquarter comebacks. Dalton and Green became the first rookie QBWR duo from the same team to play in the Pro Bowl, and secondyear TE Jermaine Gresham also was selected for the Pro Bowl. With second-year DT Geno Atkins completing the Bengals Pro Bowl lineup, the Bengals had four players in the game, with a total of only six NFL seasons among them. Lewis spreads the praise much more widely, however. This whole team worked their butts off and Im proud of them, he said. They just have to know they dont get to start where they left off (as a playoff team). We have to start over again from step one, and work as hard and smart as we did last year, and then we take it up a notch and work even harder. Lewis is the Bengals all-time leader in seasons as a head coach (10th season in 12). Paul Brown and Sam Wyche are tied for second at eight seasons. Lewis has risen to third in the NFL in longest current tenure with one team, trailing Philadelphias Andy Reid (14th) and New Englands Bill Belichick (13th). In the category of most seasons as head coach with any team, Lewis ranks seventh among active coaches. Lewis Bengals record is 69-74-1 in regular season, 0-3 in postseason and 69-77-1 overall. In a win on Oct. 23 of last season at Seattle, Lewis passed Wyche (64-68-0) into first place for Bengals head-coaching wins. Lewis was the consensus choice as NFL Coach of the Year in 2009, when the Bengals won the AFC North title while sweeping all six division games. The Bengals are among only 10 NFL teams to make the playoffs in two or more of the last three seasons. Lewis has a total of three playoff berths and two division titles, as the Bengals also won the division in 2005. Named the ninth head coach in Bengals history on Jan. 14, 2003, Lewis started quickly. His 03 club finished 8-8, six games better than the 02 club, good for the biggest improvement in the NFL. Lewis finished second (behind Belichick of Super Bowl champion New England) in Associated Press Coach of the Year voting. Lewis came to the Bengals with credentials as a record-setting NFL defensive coordinator, having played a huge role in a championship season. His six seasons (1996-2001) as Baltimore Ravens coordinator included a Super Bowl victory in 2000, when his defense set the NFL record for fewest points allowed in a 16-game campaign (165). That team clipped 22 points off the previous mark. The 2000 Ravens are always an entry in discussions regarding the best NFL defensive units of all time. In 2002, the season before he joined the Bengals, Lewis led the Washington Redskins to a No. 5 NFL defensive ranking, serving as assistant head coach as well as defensive coordinator. He had his first NFL assignment from 1992-95, as linebackers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He aided the development of four Pro Bowl players Kevin Greene, Chad Brown, Levon Kirkland and Greg Lloyd. Lewis began his coaching career as linebackers coach at his alma mater, Idaho State, from 1981-84. ISUs team (also nicknamed the Bengals) finished 12-1 in Lewis first season there and won the NCAA Division 1-AA championship.

PAUL ALEXANDER ASSISTANT HEAD COACH/ OFFENSIVE LINEPaul Alexander is in his 18th straight season as Bengals offensive line coach, and he is also the teams assistant head coach, having added that designation in 2003, when Marvin Lewis took over as head coach. He has 19 seasons overall with Cincinnati, having opened his tenure with one season as tight ends coach. Alexanders line led a pass protection effort in 2011 that saw the Bengals finish tied for fourth in the NFL in fewest sacks allowed (25). The line found some stability with three young veterans LOT Andrew Whitworth, C Kyle Cook and LG Nate Livings all starting every game. And ROT Andre Smith, the Bengals first-round draft choice in 2009, hit his stride after being held back by injuries in his first two seasons. In 2010, the Bengals pass protection was also in the leagues top ten, ranking tied for eighth with 28 sacks allowed. In 2009, the line strongly supported a 10-6 Bengals run to the AFC North Division title, supporting eight rushing games of 100 or more yards by individual backs, breaking the franchise record of six. In each of the last three seasons, HB Cedric Benson topped the 1000-yard rushing mark. Twice with Alexanders lines, the Bengals have set new franchise records for fewest sacks allowed. Cincinnati posted a new best in the division championship season of 2005 with 21 sacks allowed, and that mark was bettered in 2007, with only 17 sacks by opposing defenses. On Oct. 22, 2000, Alexanders line shared the glory of a 278-yard rushing game by HB Corey Dillon vs. Denver. It was an NFL record at the time, and it still stands fourth in league annals entering the 2011 season. The Bengals 407 total rushing yards in that game ranks as the fifth-highest single-game total in NFL history, and as the most rushing yards in 60 years. The last team to top it was the N.Y. Giants, who gained 423 against Baltimore in 1950. Alexander began his NFL coaching career in 1992 as tight ends coach of the N.Y. Jets, under head coach Bruce Coslet. When Coslet moved to Cincinnati as offensive coordinator in 1994, Alexander joined him, in the role of Bengals tight ends coach. But Alexanders first love in football was always the offensive line. He was afforded the chance to take over that job for the Bengals in 1995, and has held it ever since. Alexander is a product of distinguished teachers. He coached under Joe Paterno at Penn State and Bo Schembechler at Michigan. He also was offensive line coach at Central Michigan, a school whose coach, Herb Deromedi, ranks with Paterno and Schembechler among the winningest coaches in NCAA Division I history. Alexanders birth date is Feb. 12, 1960. Hes a native of Rochester, N.Y., where he attended Cardinal Mooney High School. He was an Academic AllAmerican at Cortland State (N.Y.) and holds a masters degree in exercise physiology from Penn State. Off the field, he is actively involved with the Boy Scouts and high school linemen camps. Alexander is also a pianist, and in 2011 he authored a well-received book Perform linking the mentality and training techniques of top athletes and musicians. He and his wife, Kathy, have three daughters Mary Beth, Carolyn and Emily. Playing and coaching history: 1979-81Played offensive tackle at Cortland State. 1983-84Graduate assistant, Penn State. 1985-86 Graduate assistant, Michigan. 1987-91Assistant coach (AC), Central Michigan. 1992-93AC, N.Y. Jets. 1994-2002AC, Bengals. 2003-presentAssistant head coach/offensive line coach, Bengals.

JIM ANDERSON RUNNING BACKSJim Anderson is in his 29th year as Bengals running backs coach, setting a franchise record for most total seasons in any full coaching staff role. In 2012, he breaks a tie with former strength and conditioning coach Kim Wood, who coached 28 seasons (1975-2002). Anderson has coached a long line of Bengals running backs to outstanding performances, with five earning spots in the Pro Bowl. And over the past four seasons, he guided a notable comeback for Cedric Benson, a high first-round draft pick who had struggled to break through in three seasons with Chicago. Benson led the Bengals in yards from scrimmage in all four of his seasons, and in each of his three full seasons (2009-11), he topped the 1000-yard rushing mark (average of 1143 yards). Among current NFL position coaches, Anderson has the most years with his team. He has had that designation since 2007, when Pittsburgh assistant Dick Hoak retired after 35 seasons with the Steelers. Anderson joined the Bengals in 1984, after 13 seasons as a college coach. He has worked under five Bengals head coaches Sam Wyche, Dave Shula, Bruce Coslet, Dick LeBeau and Marvin Lewis. Anderson has been the coach in charge of nearly every running back listed in the Bengals record book. The top 15 individual rushing seasons in Bengals history have all been accomplished by backs coached by Anderson, and his roster of Pro Bowl backs includes: James Brooks (played 1984-91, four Pro Bowls): Amassed 6447 yards with an average of 4.8 yards per carry, and he was one of the NFLs standout receivers among RBs, with 297 catches for 3012 yards as a Bengal. Harold Green (played 1990-95, one Pro Bowl): Ranks fifth in Bengals rushing yards (3727) and made the Pro Bowl after the 92 season with 1170 yards and a 4.4 average. Corey Dillon (played 1997-2003, three Pro Bowls): Leads Bengals in alltime rushing yards (8061) and held one of the NFLs glamour records when he rushed for then-league best 278 yards vs. Denver in 2000. Lorenzo Neal (played 2001-02): Earned his first Pro Bowl berth in 02, as lead blocker for Corey Dillons 1311 rushing yards. Rudi Johnson (played 2001-07, one Pro Bowl): Johnson owns the two top rushing seasons in Bengals history (1458 and 1454 yards), and his 4221 yards over 2004-06 are the most by any Bengal in a three-year span. Anderson is also one of the coaches behind the NFLs top team rushing performance in the last 61 years. On Oct. 22, 2000, when Dillon rushed for 278 yards vs. Denver, the team gained 407 on the ground. Its the fifth-best team rushing total in NFL history and stands entering 2012 as the most since 1950, when the N.Y. Giants gained 423 against Baltimore. Anderson also coached Ickey Woods, who was a league-wide sensation as a rookie in 1988 before having his career derailed by a knee injury in 89. Andersons troops won NFL rushing titles in 1988 and 89, and won the AFC rushing crown in 86. From 1986-90, the Bengals finished 2-4-1-1-5 in league rushing. Andersons coaching excellence was recognized following the 2001 season when he was interviewed for the Stanford University head coaching job. Anderson was on the Stanford coaching staff from 1980-83. Anderson was born March 27, 1948, in Harrisburg, Pa. He graduated from Cal Western with a degree in physical education, and has a lifetime teaching certificate in California. Jim and his wife, Marcia, have a son, Derek.

MARK CARRIER DEFENSIVE BACKSMark Carrier, a three-time Pro Bowl selection as an NFL safety, joined the Bengals on Feb. 13 of this year as defensive backs coach. Carrier is entering his seventh year as an NFL position coach. He spent the last two seasons (201011) as defensive line coach for the N.Y. Jets and was defensive backs coach for the Baltimore Ravens from 2006-09. Mark is a great choice for us as he moves back to his old position, coaching the defensive secondary, said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. He experienced success as a coach with two fine NFL defenses, and he will do very well with our group. In 2011, Carriers defensive line helped the Jets finish fifth in the NFL in fewest yards allowed per game (312.1), fifth in fewest yards allowed per play (5.0) and seventh in fewest yards allowed per rushing play (3.9). In 2010, the Jets finished third in the NFL in fewest rushing yards allowed and third in fewest yards per rushing play. During Carriers term as defensive backs coach in Baltimore, the Ravens had the NFLs second-most interceptions (93), with S Ed Reed performing as one of the leagues premier players. Reed earned Pro Bowl selections in each of his four years playing under Carrier, and in 2008, Reed was the only unanimous selection to the prestigious Associated Press All-Pro team. Carrier will bring an aggressive approach to his work with Bengals DBs. The way the game is played now, you just cant sit back, he says. You have to force the action. If you dont, the way the quarterbacks and the rules are, its just too tough. You have to be disciplined, but you still have to make things happen. As a player, Carrier was a standout safety over 11 seasons for Chicago, Detroit and Washington, earning three Pro Bowl selections. He was an NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year selection in 1990, when Chicago made him the sixth overall pick in the draft. He also went to the Pro Bowl with the Bears after the 1991 and 93 seasons, and he opened his career by playing in 108 consecutive games, not missing a contest due to injury until his seventh campaign. As a Detroit player, Carrier twice received the teams Joe Schmidt Leadership Award, named for the Lions Hall of Fame linebacker. He finished his NFL career with 168 games played, 164 starts, 32 interceptions, 111 passes defensed, 16 forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries and 556 tackles. He played in college at Southern California and won the 1989 Jim Thorpe Award, given annually to the player voted the nations top defensive back. Carriers hometown is Lake Charles, La. He and his wife, Andrea, have a son (Mac) and a daughter (Lexi). Mark established the MacKids Foundation in honor of his son, to raise money for causes including disaster relief. In 2001 and 2002, before beginning his career in coaching, he worked as a full-time sports commentator with various radio and TV outlets, including a role as co-host of the pregame and postgame shows on the USC Football Radio Network. He prepped for his media work by serving in a part-time role during his playing career as an on-air personality with two Chicago television stations. Playing and coaching history: 1987-89Played S at Southern California. 1990-96NFL safety, Chicago Bears. 1997-99NFL safety, Detroit Lions. 2000NFL safety, Washington Redskins. 2003Assistant coach (AC), Brophy College Prep (Phoenix, Ariz.). 2004-05AC, Arizona State. 2006-09 AC, Baltimore Ravens. 2010-11AC, N.Y.

KYLE CASKEY OFFENSIVE QUALITY CONTROL/ ASSISTANT OFFENSIVE LINEKyle Caskey is in his third season on the Bengals coaching staff, handling the duties of offensive quality control coach and assistant offensive line coach. He and line coach Paul Alexander directed the line last season to a pass protection effort that saw the Bengals finish tied for fourth in the NFL in fewest sacks allowed (25). The line found some stability with three young veterans LOT Andrew Whitworth, C Kyle Cook and LG Nate Livings all starting every game. And ROT Andre Smith, the Bengals first-round draft choice in 2009, hit his stride after being held back by injuries in his first two seasons. Caskey came to Cincinnati from the University of Mississippi, where he served in 2009 as a defensive assistant working with safeties and quality control. In addition to his on-field work, he handled all opponent offensive breakdowns and scouting report materials. Caskey entered college coaching in 2004 at Louisiana-Monroe as a graduate assistant. He coached safeties in 2004 and linebackers in 05. In 2005, the Warhawks were Sun Belt Conference co-champions. From 2006-08, Caskey was at Indiana State.

BRAYDEN COOMBS OFFENSIVE ASSISTANTBrayden Coombs takes on a full staff position with the Bengals for 2012, serving as offensive assistant. He spent the previous two seasons as an assistant to the staff. He will work with offensive coordinator Jay Gruden on video breakdown and game-planning, as well as seeing duty as an advance scout, and on the field he will have a specific focus on wide receivers, assisting receivers coach James Urban. Coombs work with receivers last season aided the rapid development of the Bengals young group, including rookies A.J. Green, Andrew Hawkins, Ryan Whalen and Armon Binns. Green emerged as one of the NFLs best young receivers, leading all league rookies in receptions (65) and receiving yardage (1057), and he became the first rookie WR selected for the Pro Bowl since the 2003 season. Hawkins developed into an offensive weapon as the season progressed, tallying 23 catches for 263 yards. Whalen saw action on offense in the last four regular-season games, and he had two receptions for 24 yards in the Wild Card Playoff at Houston. Coombs first joined the Bengals in December of 2009 as a coaching intern, and was elevated to coaching assistant before the 2010 season. He spent 2010 working primarily with the defensive staff, focusing on the defensive backs and assisting with video breakdown and game-plan construction. Prior to joining the Bengals, Coombs played collegiately at Miami (OH) from 2005-09, where he lettered four times. He spent two seasons as a DB, then was switched to WR for his final three years. He set a school record for receptions (14) in his final game as a senior, against Buffalo. Coombs is a Cincinnati native and a graduate of Colerain High School.

His tenure with the Ravens included a Super Bowl championship in the 2000 season, when he was named Professional Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year by a national vote of his peers. In Cincinnati, Friday is reunited with Chip Morton, Bengals head strength and conditioning coach since 2003. In Baltimore, Morton worked as an assistant under Friday from 1999-2001. Jeff has proven his ability at the NFL level and we are fortunate to have him on board, Morton said. He knows how to manage and direct players. Ive known Jeff since the mid-90s and I have all the respect in the world for how he does the job. Marvin Lewis, Bengals head coach, was defensive coordinator in Baltimore during Fridays first three seasons with the Ravens. Friday began his coaching career in 1990-91 as a graduate assistant S/C coach at Illinois State. He was assistant S/C coach at Northwestern from 199295, and in 96, he entered the NFL as assistant S/C coach for the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings made the playoffs in each of his three seasons.

JAY GRUDEN OFFENSIVE COORDINATORJay Gruden is in his second season as Bengals offensive coordinator, following a 2011 campaign in which his young units performance far exceeded most analysts forecasts. Rookie QB Andy Dalton became an instant standout in Grudens system, fueling the teams drive to the playoffs by leading four wins featuring fourth-quarter comebacks. The team had a total of five such comebacks, as backup QB Bruce Gradkowski led one after Dalton was injured. Rookie WR A.J. Green was also an instant success, leading all NFL rookies in receptions (65) and receiving yards (1057). Dalton and Green became the first QB-WR duo to play in the Pro Bowl as rookies, and second-year TE Jermaine Gresham also prospered in Grudens system, earning a Pro Bowl berth as he bettered the solid numbers he had posted as a rookie. Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis credited Grudens offensive system with helping Dalton, a second-round draft choice, enjoy success from the outset. We are much more simple (compared to pre-2011) in our scheme for the quarterback, Lewis says. We are not re-inventing the wheel against every new defense we face. Jay sees the offense through the quarterbacks eyes, and its a case of building from week to week, rather than starting over. The quarterback has a lot of leeway in the things he can call, and Jay recognized that Andy was the type of player who could use those options effectively. Prior to joining the Bengals, Gruden coached for seven seasons (2002-08) in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, earning a Super Bowl championship ring in 2002. He also ranks among the most outstanding players and coaches in the history of the Arena Football League, having won four league championships as a quarterback and two as a head coach. In 18 AFL seasons as a player and head coach, he never missed the playoffs. In 2010, Gruden was head coach and general manager of the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League, leading the Tuskers to the UFL championship game. Gruden played four seasons at QB for the University of Louisville (1985-88), including three years as the starter. He was a two-time team MVP and left the program ranked fourth in Cardinals history in completions (572), passing yards (7024) and touchdown passes (44). He played QB in the Arena League for six seasons (1991-96) with the Tampa Bay Storm, winning four AFL titles and posting numbers as the leagues all-time leading passer. He was head coach for the AFLs Orlando Predators for nine seasons (19982001 and 2004-08). He led the team to four championship game appearances, with two league titles, while compiling a 93-61 record (.604 winning percentage). During a two-year hiatus from coaching the Predators, in 2002-03, he returned to the playing field as Orlandos QB, leading two playoff seasons. He was elected in 1999 to the AFL Hall of Fame. In 2002, Gruden accepted a position as an offensive assistant coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, taking on a dual role as he also continued his AFL exploits during NFL offseasons. He worked for seven seasons at Tampa Bay under his brother Jon, who was Bucs head coach. He contributed to three division championship seasons, including the 2002 campaign that saw the Bucs defeat Oakland 48-21 for a victory in Super Bowl XXXVII. Gruden was born March 4, 1967 in Tiffin, Ohio. He and his wife, Sherry, have three sons J.J., Joey and Jack.

PAUL GUENTHER LINEBACKERSPaul Guenther is in his eighth season on the Bengals coaching staff in 2012, and this season he will direct Cincinnatis linebackers. I have a high confidence level working with Paul, said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, and so does Mike Zimmer (Bengals defensive coordinator). Were excited about what he can bring our defense in this new role. Guenther worked last season in a dual role, with defensive backs and special teams. He also worked closely with Zimmer on blitz techniques, and last season the Bengals ranked fifth in the NFL in sacks (45), up from 27 the previous year. Guenther had an expanded role last year in all aspects of the Bengals defensive strategy on passing downs. I like working with Zim because hes so aggressive and likes to be on the cutting edge, Guenther says. Its important to understand the whole concept. What kind of routes are they running against the pressures? What are the protection schemes against the pressures we run? Get players to understand how they react as well. Working with special teams coach Darrin Simmons last season, Guenther helped Cincinnati finish seventh in the NFL in punt return average (11.5 yards per return), seventh in punt coverage (7.2) and third in kickoff coverage (20.8). In 2010, Guenther helped Cincinnati lead the NFL in punt coverage, with an average yield of only 4.8 yards on 26 opponent returns. No foe had a return of longer than 20 yards. Guenther assisted with linebackers as well as special teams on the Bengals staff from 2006-10, and in 10, he contributed to a trifecta year for the linebackers in the team tackling totals, as starters Dhani Jones, Keith Rivers and Rey Maualuga finished 1-2-3 on the squad. Guenther (pronounced GUN-thur) was offensive assistant on the Washington Redskins staff from 2002-03. Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis was one of his associates in 2002, serving as Redskins assistant head coach/defensive coordinator. Guenthers primary position assignment with the Redskins was running backs. From 1997-2000, Guenther was head coach at Ursinus College, an NCAA Division III school in Collegeville, Pa. He was the youngest head coach in college football in 97, at age 25, and he led the team to the playoffs in 99 and 2000. His 1999 Ursinus team finished 10-2, advancing to the second round of the playoffs. The 10 wins were most in school history, and the team broke most of the offensive and defensive marks in the school record book. Guenther began his coaching career from 1994-95 at Western Maryland. He was an assistant at Ursinus in 1996, moved to Jacksonville University as defensive coordinator in 97, and returned to Ursinus that same year. Guenther was born Nov. 22, 1971. His hometown is Richboro, Pa. He played LB in college at Ursinus, setting a school career tackles record (355) while three times earning all-conference honors. He received his undergraduate degree in communications from Ursinus in 1994, and a masters degree in sports administration from Western Maryland in 97. Playing and coaching history: 1990-93Played LB at Ursinus College. 1994-95Assistant coach (AC), Western Maryland. 1996AC, Ursinus. 1997Defensive coordinator, Jacksonville Univ. 1997-2000Head coach, Ursinus. 2002-03AC, Washington Redskins. 2005-presentAC, Bengals.

JAY HAYES DEFENSIVE LINEJay Hayes, a 24-year veteran of major college and NFL coaching, is in his 10th season as Bengals defensive line coach. Last season his unit had four players post career highs in sacks as the Bengals earned a Wild Card playoff spot. Cincinnatis total of 45 sacks ranked fifth in the NFL included 34.5 by the line. The surge was led by the rapid development of DT Geno Atkins, a fourthround 2010 draft pick who made the Pro Bowl as a second-year player. Atkins team-leading 7.5 sacks tied for the NFL lead among interior linemen. In 2010, Hayes oversaw the development of rookie DE Carlos Dunlap into a producer of 9.5 sacks, a half-sack off the NFL rookie lead. Dunlaps availability in 2011 was limited due to injuries, but in addition to Atkins, the line got career-high sack performances from DEs Jonathan Fanene (6.5), Michael Johnson (6.0) and Frostee Rucker (4.0). Overall, the defense finished seventh in the NFL in fewest yards allowed (316.3 per game) and eighth in fewest yards per rushing play (3.9). NFL trends of recent years have blurred the distinctions between starters and reserves on successful defensive lines, and when all Hayes hands were healthy last year, the Bengals would make regular use of up to eight linemen in a game. When injuries or other factors limited the active field to six or seven players, all would get 20 or more snaps. Its my job to pick somebody to get a spark, so we can have the chemistry and keep it running hot, Hayes says. We want to keep getting after people and not let them find room to breathe. If we can continue doing that, we can be successful. Hayes came to the Bengals from the Minnesota Vikings, where he was special teams coach in 2002. The 02 Vikings tied for fifth in the NFL in punt coverage. Hayes was special teams coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1999-2001. In 1999, under Hayes direction, Steelers rookie kicker Kris Brown set an NFL record for most consecutive field goals made to start a career (13). Before entering the NFL coaching ranks with the Steelers, Hayes coached 11 years at the major college level at Notre Dame, California and Wisconsin. He began his coaching career in 1988 as a graduate assistant at Notre Dame, and for the next three seasons, he coached outside linebackers and special teams for the Irish. He moved to California as outside linebackers coach in 1992, and he also held that job in 93 before adding special teams responsibilities in 94. Hayes last college assignment before entering the NFL was from 1995-98 at Wisconsin, where he was outside linebackers and special teams coach. Hayes Badgers were consistently among the top special teams units in the Big Ten. Hayes played DE at the University of Idaho and earned all-conference honors in 1980 and 81. He spent some time in NFL camps before moving on to play in the USFL, for the Michigan Panthers in 1984 and the Memphis Showboats in 85. Hayes younger brother, Jonathan, is Bengals tight ends coach. Hayes was born March 3, 1960 in Pittsburgh, and attended South Fayette High School. He and his wife have three children. His son Jesse is a defensive end at Wisconsin, and this year his daughter Jazmin begins a basketball scholarship at Lafayette College (Easton, Pa.). Playing and coaching history: 1978-81Played defensive end at Univ. of Idaho. 1984Defensive end, Michigan Panthers (USFL). 1985 Defensive end, Memphis Showboats (USFL). 1988-91Assistant coach (AC), Notre Dame. 1992-94AC, California. 1995-98AC, Wisconsin. 1999-2001 AC, Pittsburgh Steelers. 2002AC, Minnesota Vikings. 2003-presentAC, Bengals.

JONATHAN HAYES TIGHT ENDSJonathan Hayes, an NFL tight end for 12 seasons, returns for his 10th year as Bengals tight ends coach in 2012. Last season, Hayes continued the development of second-year tight end Jermaine Gresham, Cincinnatis No. 1 draft pick in 2010, who immediately became one of QB Andy Daltons most reliable targets. Gresham finished the season 56-for-595 receiving with six TDs, while also continuing to develop into a productive runblocker. He earned a spot on the AFC roster in the Pro Bowl. Despite battling injuries which caused him to miss two games, Greshams 2011 numbers topped those of his rookie season, when his 52 catches tied for the lead among AFC rookies and tied for third among NFL rookies. His 2010 total was a Bengals rookie TE record, besting the mark of 44 set by Tony McGee in 1993, and he tied teammate Jordan Shipley for the most catches by any Bengals rookie since 1985. Added to the mix at tight end in 2011 were veteran Donald Lee and rookie free agent Colin Cochart. Lee, who won a Super Bowl with Green Bay in 2010, made some significant contributions, though he was limited by injuries. Cochart, from South Dakota State, was the only Bengals 2011 college free agent signee to make the opening day roster, and under Hayes he developed steadily throughout the season, playing in 10 games with three starts. Together, the TEs contributed to the run-blocking effort in 2011 that propelled RB Cedric Benson over 1000 yards rushing for the third straight year. Benson finished with 1067 yards on the ground. In addition, they aided a passblocking effort that ranked tied for fourth in the NFL in fewest sacks allowed (25). And twice since 2005, the tight ends blocking has helped Cincinnati set a club record for fewest sacks allowed. A record of 21 was set in 2005, and that mark was re-written at 17 in 07. Prior to joining the Bengals, Hayes spent four years (1999-2002) at the University of Oklahoma as tight ends coach and special teams coordinator. He helped the Sooners to a four-year record of 44-9, including a 13-0 mark in 2000 for the NCAA championship. Under Hayes tutelage, tight end Trent Smith finished his Oklahoma career in 2002 as the schools No. 2 all-time receiver, with 148 catches. Also in 2002, Sooners special teams blocked seven kicks and had three punt returns for TDs. Hayes began his NFL playing career in 1985 with the Kansas City Chiefs, as a second-round draft pick out of Iowa. He played for the Chiefs through 1993, serving as a team captain, and closed his NFL career with three seasons in Pittsburgh (94-96). He had 153 career receptions for 1718 yards with 13 TDs. He saw action in 184 NFL games with 122 starts, and he played all 16 games in each of his final six seasons. He played in three AFC Championship games and a Super Bowl (for Pittsburgh vs. Dallas in SB XXX). At the University of Iowa, he earned first-team All-America honors as a senior TE and was a team captain. He holds a degree from Iowa in general studies. Hayes older brother, Jay, is Bengals defensive line coach. Hayes hometown is South Fayette, Pa. He attended South Fayette High School. He and his wife have four children.

HUE JACKSON ASSISTANT SPECIAL TEAMS/ ASSISTANT DEFENSIVE BACKSThe Bengals on Feb. 17 of this year signed Hue Jackson to an assistant coach position. Head coach of the Oakland Raiders in 2011 and a Bengals assistant from 2004-06, Jackson is slated to assist primarily in the areas of special teams and defensive backs, working closely with DBs coach Mark Carrier and special teams coach Darrin Simmons. Hue is a tremendous addition to our staff, said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. I relied on Hue greatly when he was with us (in 2004-06), and his success overall in the NFL, including being selected for a head coaching position, is well documented. He has expertise in all aspects of the game, and we are fortunate to have obtained his services. Jackson is entering his 12th consecutive season as an NFL coach. In addition to serving as head coach last season with Oakland, he has held offensive coordinator posts for Washington (2003), Atlanta (2007) and the Raiders (2010). As Oakland head coach last season, he directed an 8-8 finish, tied with Denver and San Diego for best in the AFC West, but the Raiders were eliminated on tiebreakers from the playoffs. The Raiders finished ninth in the NFL in total offense (379.5 yards per game) and seventh in rushing offense (131.9). Jacksons three seasons with the Bengals saw him in the role of wide receivers coach, with Chad Ochocinco (then Chad Johnson) averaging 93 catches, 1358 yards and 8.3 touchdowns per campaign. Ochocinco led the AFC in receiving yards in each of those seasons, and in 2006, WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh also topped 1000 yards as the Bengals logged the first 1000yard receiving duo in franchise history. Jackson left the Bengals after the 06 season to become offensive coordinator for Atlanta. In 2010, prior to being named Raiders head coach, Jackson coordinated an Oakland offense that led the team to an average of 25.6 points per game, fourth in the AFC and sixth in the NFL. The Raiders more than doubled their 2009 point total of 197, totaling 410. Before joining the Raiders, Jackson spent two seasons as quarterbacks coach for Baltimore, helping the Ravens advance to the playoffs in both campaigns. He fostered the rapid development of Joe Flacco, who in 2008 became the first rookie QB to win two playoff games. Jackson coached in the college ranks from 1987-2000 and entered the NFL with Washington in 2001. Marvin Lewis and Jackson were coaching colleagues on the Redskins staff in 2002. Jacksons jumping-off point to the pro ranks was the University of Southern California, where he was offensive coordinator from 1997-2000. He was active in the recruiting and early coaching of QB Carson Palmer, with whom he later was reunited in Cincinnati. Palmers play at USC earned him the No. 1 overall selection by Cincinnati in the 2003 draft. Born Oct. 22, 1965 in Los Angeles, Jackson played QB at the University of the Pacific, passing for 2544 yards and 19 TDs over the 1985-86 seasons. He began his coaching career at Pacific in 1987.

DAVID LIPPINCOTT DEFENSIVE QUALITY CONTROL/ ASSISTANT LINEBACKERSDavid Lippincott is in his second season with a Bengals full staff position in 2012. He will serve again as defensive quality control coach, and this season his title also includes a designation as assistant linebackers coach, a role in which he will work with LBs coach Paul Guenther. This is Lippincotts fifth season with the Bengals. From 2008-10, he was in a support role as a coaching assistant. Lippincott handles defensive video breakdowns and game plan preparation, and he has had previous onfield duties with front-seven players. Last season, his work contributed to Cincinnati finishing seventh in the NFL in fewest yards allowed (316.3 per game) and ninth in fewest points allowed per game (20.2). Also, the Bengals finished the season with 45 sacks, fifth in the NFL and up 60 percent from a total of 27 during an injury-plagued 2010 season. Fifteen players contributed to the sack total, tied for the most in franchise history with the exception of a 1987 club that essentially had two different rosters due to strike replacement play. The 2011 defense also posted top 10 NFL rankings in fewest yards allowed per play (fourth at 5.0), fewest yards per rushing play (eighth at 3.9) and fewest yards per passing play (fourth at 6.8). As a Bengals coaching assistant from 2008-10, Lippincotts duties included advance scouting and coaching wide receivers, as well as game preparation. His 2009 work contributed to the Bengals second AFC North Division title during the tenure of head coach Marvin Lewis. Prior to joining the Bengals, Lippincott coached in college for three seasons at Bluffton University (2000-02), two seasons at Minnesota (2003-04) and three seasons at Richmond (2005-07). He worked with all three defensive position groups line, linebackers and defensive backs over the course of his college seasons. During his two seasons at Minnesota, when he worked as a graduate assistant on defense, the Gophers posted wins in the Sun and Music City bowls. At Richmond, where he was assistant defensive line coach, the team won an Atlantic 10 title in 2005 and a Colonial Athletic Association crown in 07. The 2005 team was a quarterfinalist in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, and the 07 team was a semifinalist in the (re-named) FCS division. Lippincott is a Cincinnati native a graduate of Moeller High School and the University of Dayton.

CHIP MORTON STRENGTH AND CONDITIONINGChip Morton is in his 10th season as Bengals strength and conditioning coach. During his tenure, Morton and his staff have established a program that features innovative ideas, while never straying far from the fundamental principles of productive training. But any program is only as good as its players, Morton says, and we have a group that is accountable, consistent, and diligent in their efforts. In order to build a quality product, the previous years programming is evaluated, and adjustments are made to help the team reach its goals for the upcoming season. The Bengals strength and conditioning program is characterized as comprehensive and progressive in nature. At its very core lies a foundation of traditional training principles, with an emphasis on teaching, communication and service to the players. Morton and assistant S/C coach Jeff Friday both have coached on successful teams that have reached the Super Bowl. Under Chips direction, our strength and conditioning program remains on the cutting edge of training techniques and philosophy, says head coach Marvin Lewis. I am very pleased with the outcome, using this program to both improve our players football performances and to increase their resistance to injuries. Morton was a coaching colleague of Lewis with the Baltimore Ravens from 1999-2001, serving as Ravens assistant strength and conditioning coach, and he was with Lewis in 02 at Washington, serving as head strength and conditioning coach for the Redskins. Morton is in his 21st NFL season, having also served as strength and conditioning assistant at San Diego from 1992-94 and as head strength and conditioning coach at Carolina from 95-98. He has coached with two Super Bowl teams the 1994 Chargers and the 2000 World Champion Ravens. He started his career in the collegiate ranks, serving as assistant strength coach at Ohio State (1985-86) while completing his masters degree in physical education. He moved to Penn State in 1987 as the first-ever full-time strength and conditioning assistant for the Nittany Lions football team. He also worked with 14 other mens and womens sports during his five years (1987-91) at Penn State. Mortons hometown is Hamden, Conn. He graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1985 with a degree in zoology, where he also earned a varsity letter in swimming. Continuing education has always been a hallmark of Mortons coaching career. He recently was re-certified as a Level One Sports Performance Coach by the United States Weightlifting Association and has been a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (C.S.C.S.) through the National Strength & Conditioning Association since 1990. In 2006, Morton became the first NFL strength coach to receive the Russian Kettlebell Instructors Certification (RKC), and in 08, he was certified as a Level I coach in John Brookfields Battling Ropes training system. Chip is married, and he and his wife Stacey have seven children.

DARRIN SIMMONS SPECIAL TEAMSDarrin Simmons is in his 10th season as Bengals special teams coach. Last season his units played a key role in Cincinnati securing a playoff berth, posting top 10 NFL finishes in three of the four major kick return and kick coverage areas. The Bengals were third in kickoff coverage, allowing only 20.8 yards per return, seventh in punt coverage (7.2 yards) and seventh in punt returns (11.5). Also last season, the Bengals led the NFL in opponents starting field position after kickoffs (20.3yard line.) Cincinnatis individual special teams leaders had excellent production under Simmons last season: K Mike Nugent returned from a 2010 knee injury and set franchise records for points (132) and field goals (33). He put 67 of his 80 kickoffs into the end zone, 36 of those going for touchbacks. Ive become a better kicker working with Darrin, says Nugent, who joined the Bengals in 10 after five seasons with other clubs. Ive been open to some ideas, and Darrin led me to change how I position the ball for field goals and PATs. It gave me more consistency. Brandon Tate joined the Bengals just a week before the 2011 season opener, on waivers from New England, and he contributed immediately. He finished the season with a 10.6 average on punt returns, with a TD, and he is now officially the franchises career leader in punt return average, as his clubrecord of 51 returns meets the minimum requirement of 50. Tate also averaged 23.8 yards on 42 kickoff returns. P Kevin Huber averaged a career-best 44.2 yards per kick and now ranks second in franchise history in career average (43.3). Huber and the punt team have worked together over the last three seasons to produce 76 punts downed inside the opponent 20 and only 25 touchbacks. In 2010, Cincinnati led the NFL in punt coverage for the seasons final five weeks and finished with an average yield of only 4.8 yards on 26 opponent returns. No foe had a return of longer than 20 yards. Simmons Bengals special teams have shown a nose for the ball, forcing 23 fumbles in his nine completed seasons. Thats well over twice the total (nine) for the nine seasons prior to his tenure. Simmons entered the NFL in the 1998 season on the same Baltimore Ravens staff as Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, who was Ravens defensive coordinator at the time. Simmons was assistant special teams coach and assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Ravens, and he held that same role for the Carolina Panthers from 1999-2002. He joined the Bengals in 2003. A former college punter himself, Simmons played an integral role at Carolina in the development of Todd Sauerbrun as one of the NFLs top punters of the time. Simmons began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Kansas University in 1996. He moved to the University of Minnesota in 1997. Simmons punted in college for Kansas from 1993-95, earning All-Big Eight honors his final year. As a senior, he helped the Jayhawks to a top 10 national ranking and to an Aloha Bowl victory over UCLA. Also as a Kansas senior, he won honors as an academic All-American. Prior to playing for Kansas, Simmons was a punter and QB for Dodge City (Kan.) Community College. In 1992 at Dodge City, he led the nations junior colleges in punting and was a first-team JUCO All-American. Simmons earned a degree in sports management from Kansas in 1996.

JAMES URBAN WIDE RECEIVERSJames Urban returns in 2012 for his second season as Bengals wide receivers coach. With the benefit of a full season and full offseason under his belt, Urban will look to further tap into the potential of his young receivers. In 2011, Urban was charged with leading an inexperienced Bengals receiving corps into a new offensive scheme. The presence of a rookie quarterback (Andy Dalton) and limited preparation time (due to NFL labor issues) increased the challenge. But the results were more than favorable, as the young receivers immediately developed a rapport with Dalton and saw continued production throughout the season and into the playoffs. The crown jewel of Urbans first year in Cincinnati was the rapid development of rookie A.J. Green, who led the Bengals in receptions (65), receiving yards (1057) and TDs (seven). Green established himself early as one of the top young receivers in the NFL and earned a Pro Bowl selection, voted directly to the AFC squad rather than joining later as an alternate. Green was the first rookie WR in the Pro Bowl since Anquan Boldin of Arizona in 2003. Despite missing a game and a half due to injury, Greens receptions and receiving yardage totals were tops among NFL rookies. His 1057 receiving yards set a new Bengals rookie record, breaking Cris Collinsworths 1981 mark of 1009, and his 65 catches fell just two short of Collinsworths rookie record. Greens development as a deep threat added another dimension to the Bengals offense. He had 11 receptions of 35 or more yards, which tied for the most in the NFL and was the most by a rookie since 1998, when Minnesotas Randy Moss had 14. As for Greens fellow receivers, the 2011 season was one of development. Jerome Simpson enjoyed career highs in catches (50), receiving yards (725) and receiving TDs (four). Rookie Andrew Hawkins worked his way into a contributing role after starting the season on the practice squad, tallying 23 catches for 263 yards. Andre Caldwell (37 catches, 317 yards) continued his role as a steady contributor and rookie Ryan Whalen earned his way into the receiving rotation late in the season. Prior to joining the Bengals, Urban was the Eagles QBs coach in 2009 and 10, where he helped direct Pro Bowl seasons for Donovan McNabb (2009) and Michael Vick (10). In 2010, Vick earned accolades as the NFLs Comeback Player of the Year and was the NFC starter in the Pro Bowl. Urban spent seven total seasons with the Eagles (2004-10). He was assistant to the head coach from 2004-06 and was offensive quality control coach in 2007 and 08. During his seven Philadelphia seasons, the Eagles earned five playoff berths and won three division titles. He first worked with the Eagles in 2003, serving as a coaching intern while employed full-time at the University of Pennsylvania. A native of Mechanicsburg, Pa., Urban played in college at Washington and Lee (Lexington, Va.) as a wide receiver and kick returner. He worked for seven years in the college ranks at Clarion (Pa.) University and at Penn before joining the Eagles. James and his wife, Patrice, have two daughters, Brielle and Cassidy, and a son, Jameson. He holds a bachelors degree in English from Washington and Lee and a masters degree in communications from Clarion. Playing and coaching history: 1992-95Played WR at Washington & Lee. 1997-98Assistant coach (AC), Clarion. 1999-2003 Director of football administration/operations, University of Pennsylvania. 200410AC, Philadelphia Eagles. 2011-presentAC, Bengals.

KEN ZAMPESE QUARTERBACKSKen Zampese is in his 10th season as Bengals quarterbacks coach. After guiding Andy Dalton in 2011 to one of the top statistical seasons for a rookie QB in NFL history, Zampese looks to help Dalton build on his success with the benefit of a full offseason and a year of familiarity with the Cincinnati offense. As a rookie in 2011, Dalton started all 16 games, posting team and league records en route to a playoff berth and a spot in the Pro Bowl. He passed 300-for516 (58.1 percent), for a Bengals rookie record of 3398 yards, with 20 TDs and 13 INTs (80.4 rating). Dalton became the first rookie in NFL history to throw 20 or more TD passes while starting eight or more victories, and he became only the fifth rookie to pass for 3000 yards. A second-round draft pick (35th overall), Dalton also became the only NFL rookie QB not drafted in the first round to start 16 games for his team, much less start 16 games and lead his team into the playoffs. Four of the Bengals nine victories in 2011 were fourth-quarter comebacks led by Dalton, and backup Bruce Gradkowski also led a fourth-quarter comeback win. Prior to Daltons arrival, Zampese helped guide Carson Palmer to the ranks of the Bengals all-time top passers. Palmer, who spent eight years in Cincinnati, finished his Bengals career as the teams all-time leader in passer rating (86.9) and completion percentage (62.9), and he still holds season records for completions (373), passing yards (4131), TD passes (32) and passer rating (101.1). In 2003, his first season with the Bengals, Zampese had success with a veteran starting quarterback in Jon Kitna. The 03 campaign saw Kitna post career highs at that point in completions (324), passing yards (3591), TD passes (26), completion percentage (62.3) and rating (87.4). Zampese (pronounced zam-PEE-zee) came to the Bengals following three seasons (2000-02) in St. Louis. With the Rams, he had an expanding role with a passing offense that ranked among the NFLs most prolific. Zampese joined the Rams in 2000 as an offensive assistant. He was promoted to wide receivers coach in 2001, and the Rams led the league in passing yards for a second straight year, averaging 291.4. In 2002, he added the title of passing game coach, and the Rams finished second in the league at 259.6 yards per game. Zampese began his NFL career in 1998 as an offensive assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles
