HoosierCat Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Bengals RB coach calling it a career after 30 years./>http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/The-Deans-last-class/9377bb4d-172e-492a-99a5-23be8662f330Jim Anderson, the last link to franchise founder Paul Brown on the Bengals coaching staff, retired Tuesday after spending the last several seasons as the dean of NFL assistant coaches.Anderson, who turns 65 in March, ended a run that began 30 years ago when Brown interviewed him to be the running backs coach on the practice field at the East-West Shrine Game. No current assistant has been with an NFL team longer in a career that spanned the James Brooks trade to the free-agent signing of BenJarvus Green-Ellis.Green-Ellis, born in 1985, the year after the Bengals swapped Pete Johnson for Brooks, gave Anderson his 18th 1,000-yard season and 14th different 100-yard rusher this past year.No successor to Anderson has been named. If the Bengals choose to replace Anderson in-house, one possibility could be assistant special teams/assistant defensive backs coach Hue Jackson, who broke into the NFL coaching running backs with the Redskins in 2001-02.More at the link. Happy trails, Jim, and thanks for all the great backs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy trails, Jim, and thanks for all the great backs! :cheers:/>Just thinking about it, I think the only "miss" he had was Chris Perry, and that was somewhat injury. THe other who "busted" were complete injury cases: Ki-Jana and Irons.Lots of good backs, on lots of bad teams.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalszoneBilly Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hobson speculates Hue could move into that role.Well Hue was the running backs coach and special teams coordinator at Cal State Fullerton. He also coached the running backs, receivers and special teams for the World League’s inaugural year champion London Monarchs. I could see this happening.

HoosierCat Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Per Reedy on twitter, Hue is getting the job. Will probably be announced next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Per Reedy on twitter, Hue is getting the job. Will probably be announced next week.Maybe he could link up with Marcus Lattimore and sprinkle some deer antler on him, turning him into the player he was a couple seasons ago.
