Bengals Eyeing Al Golden For Vacant Defensive-Coordinator Job
34 mins agoThe Cincinnati Bengals view Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden as the leading candidate for the vacant defensive-coordinator job, according to team reporter Paul Dehner Jr. The team moved on from Lou Anarumo after he led the Cincinnati defense for six seasons following a disastrous 2024 campaign on that side of the ball. Golden was the Bengals' linebackers coach in 2020 and 2021 before joining Notre Dame's staff as the defensive coordinator, where he led the Irish to a top-five scoring defense in 2024 en route to a College Football Playoff National Championship appearance. The Bengals are aiming to interview the 55-year-old this week, and he could be named the new DC sooner rather than later.
