Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden could be leaving for the Bengals job


Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden may have coached his last game with the Irish on Monday night.

Golden is a leading candidate to be the Bengals’ new defensive coordinator, according to the NFL Network.

The Bengals identified Golden as a candidate to fill their vacancy, but waited until Notre Dame finished playing in the College Football Playoff national championship before releasing the word.

If Golden gets the job, it will be his second stint in Cincinnati. He was the Bengals’ linebackers coach in 2020-21. Before that, he was in the staff of the Lions for four years.

Golden is best known to football fans for his 10 years as a college coach, five at Temple and five at Miami.

The 55-year-old Golden also spent a short time as a player in the NFL, signing with the Patriots in 1992 as an undrafted rookie, although he never played in the regular season.
