CINCINNATI — The Bengals' search for a new defensive coordinator continues after they made the decision to fire Lou Anarumo on Monday.

Safety Daijahn Anthony made it sound like the Bengals have already made a decision on Anarumo's replacement.

"Yes bro, it's gonna shock a lot of y'all," Anthony said on TikTok live on Thursday night. "I'm excited man, new journey."

When did they make the hire?

"I think today. Earlier today [Thursday]," Anthony said.

Anthony had three tackles in 13 games as a rookie. The Bengals haven't announced anything, but they did interview multiple candidates earlier this week.

Shout out to Braden Staten for sharing the video. Watch and listen to it at the top of the page.

Update: Anthony has since said he was "joking" and responded on social media saying he was "trolling."
