Notre Dame Fighting Irish defensive coordinator Al Golden is on the heels of an NFL job after the Fighting Irish lost to the Ohio State Buckeyes in the College Football Playoff national championship game Monday.

Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden will interview for the same job with the Cincinnati Bengals, according to a report from On3’s Pete Nakos. Nakos said the interview will take place within the next 48 hours — in a report that came out Tuesday afternoon — and that the “current expectation” is Golden will leave the Irish for the NFL.

After losing in the CFP final, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish's defensive coordinator has his sights set on the NFL, and one team is already interested.
