\n They also share faith-based values summed up in the title of Dungy’s autobiography, “Quiet Strength.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n “Faith was number one. That’s the same for me, and it all stems from that,” Walters says. “Faith, family, then football, and so just a great role model, and really someone I try to emulate my coaching style after because it made such an impact on myself, and I know everyone who played for him, and I want to do the same.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n So Walters isn’t wrapped up in a crusade to be a head coach or even an offensive coordinator. Since he’s been here, he’s had two interviews to be an OC, both with first-year head coaches DeMeco Ryans in Houston and Jonathan Gannon in Arizona.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n “I take it year by year. I know there’s a lot on a head coach’s plate,” Walters says. I have four kids, and I look at the demands of a head coach, sometimes. Right now, I love being a receiver coach with the guys I’ve got, and I love developing.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n Walters has had the touch, from the draft’s fifth pick in Chase to a practice-squad retread in Mitchell Tinsley. Besides developing a stacked room that includes the red-zone antics of sixth-rounder Andrei Iosivas, Walters is part of Taylor’s best-and-brightest braintrust that has included a future NFL head coach in Brian Callahan and a current offensive coordinator in Dan Pitcher, who interviewed for Cleveland’s top job last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n Taylor makes sure his offensive assistants share the responsibilities of a coordinator. In his first season, Walters was in charge of game management, and then moved into red zone situations for a couple of seasons. Now he’s been charged with managing first- and second-down base passes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n “We all have our area of expertise, and they rely on everybody in terms of game plan, input, and so on,” Walters says. “I’ve learned a lot from Zac, Cali when he was here, and Pitch, on how to do things. If that ever comes my way, being a coordinator, then you kind of take the good of what we’ve done here and go from there.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n His old coach certainly believes he’s got what it takes. It was news to him Walters decided not to interview in Chicago. But not breaking news.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n “That’s him” Dungy said. “He loves working for Coach Taylor. He loves his receivers \u2026 He believes in what he’s doing. He loves his guys. They’ve got something special going.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n That’s why, speaking of the next Super Bowl, Walters is still a Bengal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n “Right now, I want to be a part of this. The receiver room, and it’s part of the Cincinnati Bengals,” Walters says. “I feel like we’re going to do something special this upcoming season, and I want to be a part of it.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
