Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Bengals hired former Oakland
Raiders head coach Hue Jackson as an assistant coach Friday.
Jackson was fired by the Raiders in January following just one season as the
team's head coach, finishing the year with an 8-8 record.
He will serve as the assistant to the Bengals' secondary coach, as well as the
special teams' assistant.
Prior to being named head coach, Jackson was the Raiders' offensive
coordinator in 2010. He joined the club after two years as quarterbacks coach
for Baltimore and numerous other stops as an assistant, including coaching the
Bengals' wide receivers from 2004-2007.
Also on Friday, the Bengals signed free agent running back Aaron Brown.
A sixth-round draft choice by the Detroit Lions in 2009, Brown has appeared in
22 career games with two starts for the Lions, carrying the ball 45 times for
189 yards.
He also has 18 career receptions for 138 yards and a touchdown.
