One of the bright spots on the 2020 Detroit Lions coaching staff, offensive line coach Hank Fraley, is set to interview with the Cincinnati Bengals for their vacant OL coach position.
Following a report from Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, a Bengals source confirmed that Fraley will interview with the Bengals on Friday. Cincinnati fired several assistant coaches this week, including OL coach Jim Turner. Head coach Zac Taylor remains in place after there was some question about his job status following a disappointing 4-11-1 season.
Fraley did a very good job with the Lions, who had one of the NFL’s better offensive lines despite starting a rookie guard in Jonah Jackson and having several injury-related shuffles to the starting lineup and reserves. The 2020 season was his first as the OL coach after serving as an assistant in 2019.
