Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame are still in search for a defensive coordinator but now have another coaching departure to potentially replace.
Defensive analyst Nick Lezynski, a former Notre Dame player, is leaving that role to join former Fighting Irish defensive coordinator Clark Lea, who is the head coach at Vanderbilt. Lezynski worked under Lea with the Irish and will coach the linebackers for the Commodores.
Lezynski had been on Notre Dame’s staff since 2018 and will be replacing John Egorugwu who left Vanderbilt to join the New York Giants coaching staff.
