What do you think, Bengals fans? Sound off!
The Cincinnati Bengals have hired their next defensive coordinator and it will be Notre Dame’s Al Golden.
Golden, on the heels of helping guide the Fighting Irish to the National Championship Game, is leaving South Bend behind and heading back to Cincinnati.
Golden is an experienced coach and was Lou Anarumo’s linebackers coach from 2019 through the 2021 Super Bowl run, helping develop Logan Wilson and Germaine Pratt into one of the best linebacker duos in the league.
Before his first stay in Cincinnati, he was a defensive coordinator for the Virginia Cavaliers, Temple’s head coach, Miami (Fl)’s head coach, a tight ends coach for the Detroit Lions, and was named as the Lions’ linebackers coach a year before he jumped ship to Cincy.
After he helped “The Mad Scientist” get the Bengals to the Super Bowl, he went back to college football, being named Notre Dame’s defensive coordinator. Now that the Bengals have moved on from Anarumo in the wake of a 9-8 season despite a top-tier offense, it will be Golden’s job to rebuild the defense and get the franchise back in the postseason.
