Notre Dame running backs coach [autotag]Deland McCullough[/autotag] may be new to South Bend but he isn’t new to coaching running backs. After spending last season with Indiana where he had a previous stint as well, McCullough made the trip north to replace [autotag]Lance Taylor[/autotag] who took the offensive coordinator spot at Louisville.
Taylor did a great job of raising the bar in terms of talent for Notre Dame’s running backs. Now it’s up to McCullough to grow the position into what he calls a “championship level”.
McCullough met the assembled media after Tuesday’s spring practice and broke down the leaders in Notre Dame’s running back room as well as discussed replacing an all-time great in [autotag]Kyren Williams[/autotag]. Below is what he had to say about each.
