New Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Al Golden arrives with some key strengths of his own. His predecessor, Lou Anarumo, had an almost uncanny ability to throw out a by-the-opponent amoeba defense and give quarterbacks as Patrick Mahomes fits.

Al Golden agreed to return to the Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday after three seasons as Notre Dame’s defensive coordinator.

The Bengals have finalized an agreement to make Al Golden their next defensive coordinator. They're also hiring Jerry Montgomery to be their defensive line coach according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic.
