Report: Bengals to interview Rams' Aubrey Pleasant for DC job

Last week the Bengals requested permission to interview Rams cornerbacks coach Aubrey Pleasant for their defensive coordinator job, and Cincinnati has now been granted that opportunity, according to Vincent Bosnignore of the Los Angeles Daily News (Twitter link).  Pleasant, regarded as a rising star in the coaching ranks, worked for the Browns and Redskins before joining Los Angeles in 2017. The Bengals’ DC job is the only vacant coordinator position remaining in the NFL, and a number of candidates (Dom Capers, Jack Del Rio, Dennis Allen) have bowed out of the running to join head coach Zac Taylor's staff.  Other coaches who have been linked to the job include Saints linebackers coach Mike Nolan, former Falcons defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel, Texas A&M defensive coordinator Mike Elko, Florida defensive coordinator Todd Grantham and Saints defensive backs coach Aaron Glenn.
