CINCINNATI — Bengals safeties coach Robert Livingston is expected to become the next defensive coordinator of the Colorado Buffaloes according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Livingston has been on the Bengals’ staff for the past nine seasons (2015-23). He also worked for the organization as a scout from 2012-14.
Livingston helped Jessie Bates developed into one of the NFL’s best safeties and is well respected throughout the NFL.
Head coach Zac Taylor will have to fill another void on his staff.
He promoted Dan Pitcher to offensive coordinator following Brian Callahan’s departure, but hasn’t found a new quarterbacks coach to replace Pitcher.
It sounds like Taylor will have to find a new safeties coach in the near future.
The star wide receiver believes this year would’ve been different if Joe Burrow didn’t suffer a season-ending wrist injury against the Ravens in November.
“Hundred percent, you ain’t even gotta finish that question brother,” Chase said when asked if the Bengals would’ve been at the top of the AFC.
“I think everybody know that we played the 49ers when he was 100% healthy, that score was 31-17, so you know that discussion right there could set the market straight.
The Bengals had a 10-7 lead over the Ravens in Baltimore when Burrow left the game with a wrist injury that would ultimately end his season.
No one knows how the season would’ve went, but it’s hard to blame Chase for thinking Cincinnati would’ve been in the Super Bowl conversation again this year.
