Things got wild there for a minute regarding the Notre Dame Football coaching staff for the 2023 season. Ever since Tommy Rees decided to go to Tuscaloosa to become the offensive coordinator for the Alabama Crimson Tide, Notre Dame has been in the one form or another in full search mode.
The most recent departure was special teams coordinator Brian Mason, who started for the NFL and the Indianapolis Colts. Mason’s name wasn’t the only one to keep popping up in conversations for the NFL. Defensive coordinator Al Golden, wide receivers coach Chansi Stuckey, running backs coach Deland McCullough and safety coach Chris O’Leary were also trusted assistants by the pros.
