Notre Dame football to hire an offensive and defensive staffer

Notre Dame football’s major coaching openings having been filled, there are still are few holes to fill.

Two of those happened over the weekend as news of the Irish having impending hires on each side of the ball. Mike Singer reported that former Auburn and Indiana running back Shaun Shivers is expected to be joining the staff as an assistant wide receivers coach. It’s been a fast rise in the coaching field for the former player, as just a few years ago he was coaching track along with running back at his alma mater. Shivers accepted an assistant running backs position with Florida State in January, so Notre Dame stole one away from a rival.

The second hire that should happen is on the defensive side of the ball, as Chase Jones will be joining the Irish according to FootballScoop. He’ll be an analyst with the linebackers after being a graduate assistant with the same group at his alma mater of Wake Forest.

They also mention that strength and conditioning coach Loren Landow is expected to stay with the program after multiple NFL teams expressed interest. It’s pretty safe to say that this weekend has some great news for Notre Dame’s coaching staff.
