Notre Dame is making another addition to their coaching staff as former Houston Texans offensive assistant coach John Aylward is on his way to South Bend.
According to FootballScoop.com, Aylward will replace Pat Kramer at the University as Kramer recently took a job with the Atlanta Falcons.
Aylward started with the Texans as an intern in 2018 before being added into a full-time role on the offensive side of the ball for the 2019 season.
Said Brian Kelly of the Aylward and Chad Bowden hirings:
“We added offensive and defensive analysts, that are focused primarily in recruiting efforts,” Kelly said. “I guess the best way to put it is that they’re offensive and defensive coordinators in recruiting.
“They get the whole staff together, coordinate the efforts in terms of recruiting. Making sure that they’re touching base with recruits, daily. That’s not a 9 to 5 job; that’s late at night.”
