Al Golden Defense Analysis While At Notre Dame
The Irish unfortunately came up short in the National Championship game. I’ll be dissecting that a bit later but there’s something a bit more timely I wanted to touch on.
The news of defensive coordinator Al Golden’s departure to the Cincinnati Bengals was made official less than 72 hours removed from the Ohio State natty loss. I’ve got no hard feelings about it. The Freeman-Golden duo has given us some of the most exciting (albeit stressful) defensive performances we’ve seen from Notre Dame in a long time.
Nothing lasts forever and I’m also a strong supporter of going out on a high. Hats off to Golden for a great season and setting the defense up for a lot of success in the future.
