There was no offseason for Al Golden. The former Cincinnati Bengals linebackers coach oversaw his position group's performance in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, Feb. 13, and he was at Notre Dame — which is also three time zones away — Monday night. The new defensive guru was at work less than 24 hours later. But you wouldn't know he didn't get a much-deserved break. The veteran coach brought the liveliness of the Los Angeles Super Bowl scene straight to Northwest Indiana.
