Well, besides the fact that it is being reported by David Hood and CTI...

Al Golden just signed a 4-year extension with Notre Dame that pays him $2.25 million annually which makes him the third highest paid DC in college football. It stands to reason that if he does leave Notre Dame, it will likely be for a job in the NFL.
HTH!

You think he gonna move directly from DB to DC in the NFL? Would be a rare event but so was Hurricane Helene and the Cal wildfires. Possible.

Rare event? What do you think the normal progression is then?

Yes, defensive minded head coaches who get fired also sometimes move to DC. But otherwise it's almost always, by definition, from a position coach to DC.

The Titans DC now literally just finished his first season as a DC after being DB coach for the Ravens lol.
It happens all the time, especially in the NFL, with position coaches on both sides of the football.

the younger NFL head coaches at coordinators. Honestly Wes’s resume doesn’t looked that far fetched as most believed when you think about comparing their meteoric rises.

So we'll see. He's also friends with Tyler Grisham from their days in Denver. Think we have as good a shot to land him as anyone.

I'm guessing we will know something on Monday. Why would Golden leave ND. They will be playing for the National Championship.

Legit question... do we know this to be true?
Or has NIKE deep research to find the F&F link (tongue in cheek) begun to grow legs? LOL

Well that seals it then. We've hit the trifecta
Walk-on to Scholly player - CHECK
Played in the NFL with a current Clemson coach (F&F plan) - CHECK
His alma mater gave him a chance to coach with no experience - CHECK

Forgot to add he had his Alma maters defense as one of the best in the country for 5-6 years … I’d love to have the guy honestly over some of the names iv seen.

I would say Robert Saleh is the top choice for the Niners. He got his break under Shanahan there and did a great job and has apparently already interviewed for the DC position in SF. Just a matter of if Saleh gets a HC opportunity elsewhere. I believe the Jaguars might be interviewing him as well for their HC role.

Don’t go to sleep on Jeff Haffley of the GB Packers. He and Dabs had a great relationship when he was at BC

it probably matters more where he sees himself after having now experienced both pro and college jobs. Also sounds like the type where family considerations would weigh heavy so I’d say he’s still as much of a candidate as any other.
