Notre Dame To Promote From Within

December 1, 2021 by Staff

On Wednesday night (December 1), numerous reports surfaced that Notre Dame has promoted Brian Kelly's defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman to head coach. It's not who we thought it would be (Luke Fickell), but it has Cincinnati ties as Freeman joined the Irish staff this year after serving four years as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach under Fickell for the Bearcats.

Tom Loy of Irish Illustrated reported the news and adds that offensive coordinator Tommy Rees will also stay in South Band and not rejoin Kelly at LSU.
