Bengal bum Alex "Linus" Van Pelt moving to the Clowns


Recommended Posts

The Cleveland Browns are hiring Cincinnati Bengals quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt as offensive coordinator, a source told ESPN.

Van Pelt spent the past two seasons with the Bengals. Before that, he was an assistant with the Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Buffalo Bills. He was the Bills' interim offensive coordinator in 2009.

 

Van Pelt spent his two seasons in Cincinnati under two different head coaches. After Marvin Lewis and the Bengals parted ways after the 2018 season, he was retained by the offensive-minded Zac Taylor, who praised Van Pelt throughout the season.

"He is, in a sense, a veteran at the position," Taylor said in December.

 

Van Pelt played quarterback for 11 seasons in the NFL, with the Pittsburgh Stealers, Kansas City Chiefs and Bills.

In addition to his years coaching in the league, Van Pelt's time playing quarterback was considered a huge asset when it came to grooming inexperienced QBs.

We don't need a HS football coach we need a NFL QB coach. Kitna has done a fine job at that task

 

When/where has Kitna been an NFL QB coach? I haven't exactly been keeping up with him.

I see he's been working with Prescott in Dallas.  Still not interested.
