Here are the recent ND Coaching hires: Brian Mason – Special Teams Coach from Cincinnati Harry Hiestand – OL Coach Chansi Stuckey – WR Coach from Baylor Al Washington – DL Coach from Ohio State As of now, we are still waiting DC and RB coaches.
Al Washington is heading to ND as the DL Coach. He has a lot of experience and is a very good recruiter. In other news, RB Coach Lance Taylor is going to Louisville as the OC.
In a surprise announcement Mike Elston is going to his alma mater Michigan. I would assume that he was told he was not in the conversation for the DC position. He was given his chance in the Bowl Game and failed miserably. I would also assume that who ND is chasing for this position perhaps
ND gets Kicker Blake Grupe – the leading scorer from Arkansas State who was 64/86. Check out his video highlights: In other news, Baylor WR Coach Chansi Stuckey agreed to coach ND’s WR after meeting with the Irish on Wednesday. He played WR at Clemson and spent 5 years in the Pros.

How do you describe this fiasco that makes any sense? Number one in Marcus Freeman’s 1st game is why was he not the Defensive Coordinator? It’s his first game and on a big stage. Neither Elston or any of the “D” were really capable. Big Mistake!! He actually looked like he was just watching this
I was not at all impressed with the Big 12 these last few years nor was I impressed with either Baylor or Oklahoma State in their Conference Championship Game. That being said Oklahoma State does have a very high calibre Defense, but it is offset by an erratic QB who has a great tendency to
