“I’m excited for Dan and his opportunity to increase his role on our staff. He has excelled in his job of helping develop our quarterbacks over the past five years. He has been a top contributor to our scheme, and that role will now increase. I look forward to seeing him continue to grow in this new position.” This is what Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on January 25 this year when Dan Pitcher was selected as the new offense coach. The offensive squad was thrilled when Dan took charge, as he is highly skilled at coaching quarterbacks and other positions. Pitcher has been with the franchise for nine years, but this is his first season as an offensive coordinator (OC).

Pitcher’s work with Joe Burrow stands as one of the most notable achievements in his illustrious coaching career. The OC’s contributions to Burrow and the team were so significant that the Bengals ranked 4th in passing last year. That same year, Dan also received a contract extension. Pitcher’s humility and problem-solving skills, combined with his attention to detail, set him apart from other coaches in the league. This journey seems incredible, right?

But it hasn’t been without challenges. Since his days as a wide receiver coach at Cortland to now helping the Bengals clinch victories, the 37-year-old offensive coach has faced many ups and downs. And do you know who has been by his side throughout this journey, never letting him lose hope? His wife—the love of his life.
