Former Raiders coach Hue Jackson has been hired as an assistant with the Bengals. On the staff with Cincinnati from 2004-06, Jackson will help with the secondary and special teams, and work closely with the position coaches for both units. Jackson was fired after the Raiders missed the AFC playoffs with an 8-8 record last season. "I relied on Hue greatly when he was with us, and his success overall in the NFL, including being selected for a head coaching position, is well documented," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. "He has expertise in all aspects of the game, and we are fortunate to have obtained his services."
