Breaking news affects two of USC’s primary football opponents in 2023

Utah, #USC’s 2022 nemesis, retained its offensive coordinator, which means @IrishWireND is still looking for its 2023 OC.

Notre Dame and head coach Marcus Freeman are looking for an offensive coordinator. It’s a very consequential, high-stakes decision which might decide the outcome of the 2023 USC-Notre Dame game on October 14 in South Bend.

Fighting Irish Wire is covering the Notre Dame offensive coordinator search. On Monday, the Irish learned that one man won’t be their new offensive coordinator this coming season.

Utah offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig will stay with Kyle Whittingham and the Utes. Utah retained Ludwig, taking him out of play for the same position at Notre Dame.

“Head coach Marcus Freeman will need to find another play caller who fits what Notre Dame is looking for after it looked like Ludwig was prepared to make the lateral move. That obviously is not the case as a $2.8 million dollar buyout stood in the way from the Irish finding their next offensive coordinator,” Fighting Irish Wire wrote.
