CINCINNATI — Ohio State beat Notre Dame 34-23 on Monday night in the National Championship Game.

The Buckeyes moved the ball up-and-down the field for most of the game, but the Irish made it interesting down the stretch.

Did Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden coach his last game in South Bend?

Golden could be Cincinnati bound in the near future. The Bengals still haven't hired a defensive coordinator, but an announcement could be coming soon.

"All signs point to Al Golden," league sources told BengalsTalk.com.

The Bengals hired two coaches on Monday—finalizing deals with offensive line coach Scott Peters and his assistant Michael McCarthy.

Don't be surprise if Golden is next on their list of announcements. Looking for more on Golden?
