Notre Dame football: What to like about new special teams coach

What to like about Notre Dame’s likely new special teams coordinator.

Reports surfaced Sunday that Notre Dame is already keying in on a replacement for [autotag]Brian Mason[/autotag] as special teams coordinator. Mason is leaving the Irish for the Indianapolis Colts, with whom he’ll coach special teams. The search for Mason’s replacement reportedly will not be a very long one.

According to Matt Fortuna of The Athletic, Notre Dame is headed to the SEC to fill its special teams vacancy.  Below is what Fortuna tweeted on Sunday afternoon:

A quick look at the biography of [autotag]Marty Biagi[/autotag] details his work, which suggests Notre Dame special teams should resemble more of what we saw in 2022 instead of what they were like for much of the 12 previous seasons.
