Al Golden, the former defensive coordinator at Notre Dame, has been appointed as the new defensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals. The announcement comes after Golden’s efforts within the college football landscape following a national championship loss to the Georgia Bulldogs. Sources within the organization confirmed the hiring earlier today. Golden, who has a rich coaching history, including his tenure as head coach at the University of Miami, will now bring his expertise to Cincinnati in hopes of bolstering a defense that struggled at times during the previous season. The Bengals, under the guidance of head coach Zac Taylor, are aiming to improve their defensive strategy to complement their offensive strengths led by quarterback Joe Burrow. ‘I’m excited for this new chapter and the opportunity to work with the talented players and staff in Cincinnati,’ Golden stated in a recent interview. His hiring is viewed as a strategic move for the Bengals as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season, focusing on elite defensive performance amidst a competitive league.
