Graduate transfer punter incoming.
New special teams coach Brian Mason wanted to increase the competition in the specialists group and has been aggressive in doing so.

Notable.
Ohio State is promoting RB coach Tony Alford to run game coordinator. He has coached, recruited and developed six 1,000-yard running backs in his seven-year tenure at Ohio State.
We made some charts breaking down the defensive performances of all of the candidates Pete listed in this article (we excluded Al Golden since we don't have any recent college data for him)
First up, Doug Belk
Only one year of experience but what a year it was

Wins = good hire. Losses = bad hire. That’s all we need to measure everything by.
His dad is a HS coach and wanted to be closer to family so they could watch him play. He got his degree. Great scenario all around
If u don’t wanna be at Notre Dame then - SEE YA!
My understanding is he's from Alabama and told the team midway through the yr he needed to get closer to home so his dad could watch his games.... I could have that completely wrong just what I've read
Former Notre Dame punter Jay Bramblett headed to LSU with Brian Kelly and Brian Polian.

Sometimes coaching searches can appear chaotic on the outside as they’re happening. But a look under the hood of Marcus Freeman’s hunt for his next defensive coordinator reveals order.

I agree he's been good but when will we ever get a dominant interior D lineman like Jordan Davis/Christian Wilkins/Dexter Lawrence, etc.? Foskey great but took 12 to develop a dominant end. Oline outpaced the DLine with 1st round talent over the years and it wasn't even close
Touché. Elston seemed like a great guy. Loyal man. Players loved him.recruiter well. I don’t blame him the returning to his alma mater. But @NDFootball will b just fine.
I think the #NotreDame beat needs to get together for a kegger after this coaching carousel ends.
Notable as Notre Dame looks for a new defensive coordinator and new defensive line coach.

Notre Dame defensive end Isaiah Foskey, who announced his return for his senior season just last weekend.
Everything happens for a reason. The Best is yet to come✊🏾
Anything to do with the new D coordinator who has been hired? Fallout from Fiesta Bowl collapse?
mostly not coaching DL tho right?
Notre Dame needs a new defensive line coach. I’ll be fascinated to see if former Irish defensive tackle Tyler Stockton gets a look. Dynamic personality, great teacher, has done quality work at Ball State.
Talked to the family of one of Notre Dame’s defensive line commitments. The Elston departure is a shock and Elston has already called to tell the family that he’s headed to Michigan.
Goes without saying this is a bit of a shocker based on Elston’s comments on signing day about wanting to stay at Notre Dame for reasons beyond football.
SOURCE: Notre Dame defensive line coach Mike Elston is expected to become the new D-Line coach at Michigan, his alma mater. @TomLoy247 first reported the move.
“He just has the wealth of life experience. He’s very cultured. He can talk about anything.”

Lol imagine thinking that NFL experience was important to being a college coach. 😂😂😂
Are you telling me NFL experience > DePauw experience? Sad.
He literally took the Baylor job last January. That was short lived. Hopefully he stays at ND. Hope he can recruit
Source: Notre Dame expected to hire Chansi Stuckey from Baylor as its next receivers coach.
The Irish also interviewed JaMarcus Shepard from Purdue, but went with the former Clemson receiver with NFL experience. Stuckey impressed the Irish staff in his interview Wednesday.

The last thing ND needs is this added to the narrative: "they only won because it was snowing."
Notre Dame doesn't need a weather advantage to beat Clemson next year.
Yeah, because Clemson is so much better, right Pete?
LaFleur left ND in 2014/2015, when Johnson would've been a sophomore in high school, right? Did they stop recruiting him after that?
