CINCINNATI — The Bengals will call Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden for an interview in the next 48 hours, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated.
“If everything is going to play out, [they’ll] hire him as your next defensive coordinator,” Breer tweeted. “They’ll get their first pick.”
We reported that the Bengals were down to two candidates last week: Golden and Patrick Graham.
Golden is the leader in the clubhouse and is expected to be the Bengals’ defensive coordinator in the coming days.
“All signs point to (Al) Golden,” league sources told BengalsTalk.com.
Expect the Bengals to finalize things with the 55-year-old in the coming days.
Sources: The Bengals are waiting for the dust to settle on Notre Dame’s season, but the plan is to bring Irish DC Al Golden in for an interview in the next 48 hours and, if all goes according to plan, hire him as the next defensive coordinator.
So they will get their first choice.
