Lippincott to retire from Bengals
Jim Lippincott, Bengals Director of Football Operations, announced today his impending retirement. Lippincott, who first joined the Bengals in 1992 in scouting and personnel, will remain active in football by returning to Cincinnati’s Moeller High School as defensive coordinator, resuming his longtime association with the school.
Lippincott will serve in a dual role for the first few months of 2012, returning to Moeller but also continuing to work with the Bengals, helping the team prepare for April’s college draft.
“Jim has been a valued member of our front office for some 20 years, working as both a scout and as an administrator,” said Bengals president Mike Brown. “His work at Moeller is where his heart takes him now, but I thank him for all he has done here over the years and wish him only the very best. Jim will still be very much in the Bengals picture as we head toward this year’s draft.”
Lippincott, a native of Lima, Ohio, holds degrees from Xavier University and the University of Dayton. He first came to Moeller High School in 1981 as defensive coordinator. He added the role of athletic director in 1988. He worked as both an administrator and a coach until he left in 1992 to join the Bengals.
“First and foremost, I want to express my love for Mike Brown, and to thank him for giving me the opportunity to work for the Bengals,” Lippincott said. “The experience has been challenging and rewarding. I will leave remembering not just the results of the games, but for the priceless professional associations and friendships I’ve been blessed to make.”

Great news! Make no mistake his incompetence was a huge contribution to why the Bengal’s have been terrible during his time there, yet no responsibility for his part in making horrible decisions.
