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.

The Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator job has been open for more than two weeks now, but there hasn't been much movement on a possible hiring and now we know why: The team was waiting for Notre Dame to finish its season.
