On Tuesday, the Bengals solidified their coaching staff for the 2024 season with the addition of three new members. Jordan Salkin, who previously worked at the University of Oregon in 2023 and served as an offensive quality control coach for the Miami Dolphins in 2021, has been hired as the offensive assistant. Ronnie Regula, with nine years of coaching experience in the collegiate ranks, joins as the defensive assistant. Regula spent the last two seasons as a senior defensive analyst at Notre Dame and has coached at the University of Miami and the University of Tennessee.
Ben Jacobs, the new special teams assistant, brings five seasons of experience as an assistant special teams coach with the Carolina Panthers (2019) and Washington Commanders (2020-2023). Jacobs, a former NFL linebacker who played for the Cleveland Browns (2011) and the Carolina Panthers (2014-2018), appeared in 73 career games. Additionally, he spent two weeks on the Bengals’ practice squad in 2012.
