BENGALS HIRE TWO TO COACHING STAFF
The Bengals today made two additions to the coaching staff, hiring Kyle Caskey as offensive quality control coach and Jeff Friday as assistant strength and conditioning coach.
Caskey comes to Cincinnati from the University of Mississippi, where he served in 2009 as a defensive assistant working with safeties and quality control. In addition to his on-field work, he handled all opponent offensive breakdowns and scouting report materials. Caskey entered college coaching in 2004 at Louisiana-Monroe as a graduate assistant, and from 2006-08, he was at Indiana State. In 2008, he coached tight ends and running backs while also serving as recruiting coordinator. He played tight end at Texas A&M in 1997-98 and was a four-year letterman in track and field from 1998-2002, including 2000 All-Big XII honors in the discus. His hometown is Daingerfield, Texas.
Friday was head strength and conditioning coach for the Baltimore Ravens from 1999-2007, including an NFL Championship season in 2000. He left Baltimore in conjunction with Brian Billick’s 2007 release as head coach. He started his own strength training business in 2008, and for 2009 he was a consultant to the United Football League, supervising the league’s strength and conditioning programs and assisting in the hiring of team coaches. Chip Morton, Bengals head strength and conditioning coach since 2003, worked in Baltimore as an assistant under Friday from 1999-2001. Marvin Lewis, Bengals head coach, was defensive coordinator in Baltimore during Friday’s first three seasons with the Ravens. Friday earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1989 and a master’s degree from Illinois State in 1992. He is a Milwaukee native.
