Report: Bengals Not Interested in Don 'Wink' Martindale for Vacant Defensive Coordinator Job
CINCINNATI — No, the Bengals aren't intested in Don "Wink" Martindale for their defensive coordinator job.
After a few hours of speculation following Tom Pelissero's report about Martindale, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic shut down any possibility of the veteran coach joining the Bengals' staff.
"For clarity: Martindale is not part of the DC search nor was he ever under consideration," Dehner tweeted.
The Bengals' search for Lou Anarumo's replacement is more than a week old. We know they've interview Patrick Graham and DeMarcus Covington. They've also been linked to Matt Eberflus.
Regardless, it's safe to say Martindale won't be the Bengals next defensive coordinator.
