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.
