Less than 48 hours after Notre Dame lost the College Football Playoff National Championship, Al Golden is going to the NFL and joining the Cincinnati Bengals as their next defensive coordinator. He’s accepted the role, according to Matt Zenitz of 247 Sports. At the end of the regular season, the Bengals fired previous defensive coordinator, Lou Anarumo.
The Fighting Irish gave up the fifth-fewest points in the country last season. Plus, Golden’s defensive scheme helped Notre Dame make it to the national championship game. With a relentless front-seven, as well as clever dime rush packages, his skill set could translate over nicely.
With players like Trey Hendrickson and Germaine Pratt as a part of that front-seven, the talent is there for Golden. However, transitioning from college football to the pros is a tough task. Luckily, he’ll have plenty of time to get adjusted and acclimated to Cincinnati.
