The Cincinnati Bengals appear to have the man they'll entrust with fixing their broken defense.
The Bengals have hired Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden to take the same position with the franchise. It's a homecoming of sorts, as Golden was Cincinnati's linebackers coach from 2020 through '21, when he was hired to take the defensive coordinator job with the Fighting Irish. Bengals head coach Zac Taylor knows Golden well as this is the second time he's hired the 55-year-old.
