let the complaining begin

Can confirm that the Bengals have hired Al Golden as their new LBs coach. Was previously in Detroit. First reported by @MikeGarafolo and @RapSheet.

I am actually quite happy with this signing.  Getting fired in the NFL (or college) if you are simply part of someone's staff isn't uncommon.  I think he has a lot of experience.  What happened to him at Miami, taking over a team with massive sanctions (all incurred before he was hired) was a tough task.  He is originally from PSU, so maybe a coach from LBU is a good idea?

And as far as his time in Detroit.  His Lions took GB to overtime (allowing just 20 points, I believe) the last week of the season in a VERY important game for GB to get the #2 seed, and his team had nothing to play for.  Looks like Patricia blamed his defensive staff instead of looking in the mirror.  

Welcome, Al.
