It looks like things may start to move fast now.
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor is expected to interview Notre Dame’s Al Golden for the team’s open defensive coordinator job on Wednesday, according to The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr.
The Bengals fired Lou Anarumo after they finished with a disappointing 9-8 record and missed the playoffs despite Joe Burrow’s MVP-caliber season and Ja’Marr Chase winning the Triple Crown. Golden, Notre Dame’s defensive coordinator, and former Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham emerged as the two front runners. It appears, though, as if the team has set its sights set on Golden.
The Fighting Irish fell to the Ohio State Buckeyes on Monday night in the National Championship Game by a score of 34-23. An interview with the Bengals on Wednesday allows Golden to put a bow on things in South Bend before he moves on to another job.
In all likelihood, the Bengals will be announcing Golden as their new DC in the next 48 hours.
Stay tuned for updates.
