NFL coaching hires can ultimately come down to who you know. But when it came to new offensive pass game coordinator, Justin Rascati, he didn’t know anyone with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Rascati’s previous stints with the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings saw him crossing zero paths with Bengals head coach Zac Taylor or anyone already a part of the franchise.
His lone connection had nothing to do with the Bengals at all, rather the city they’re based in.

Per The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. , Rascati and his wife have close friends who live in Cincinnati, giving them something familiar in moving for a new opportunity.
“Rascati started his college career at Louisville where he met his wife, Jennifer, who is from there. They have close friends living on the east side of Cincinnati. Their three boys, Rhett, Rhys and Riley, could be heard in the background of a phone call Friday as Rascati juggled selling a house, starting a new job and pulling off a move his family — and his career path — long hoped would come.” – The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr.
