Marcus Freeman’s eventful off-season of replacing assistant coaches after becoming Notre Dame’s head coach may very soon be having another chapter added. According to a report from Pete Thamel of ESPN, Boston College is zeroing in on current Notre Dame tight ends coach John McNulty as their next offensive coordinator.
McNulty is set to replace Frank Cignetti Jr., who left Boston College for the same role at Pittsburgh. McNulty also previously worked with Eagles coach Jeff Hafley, as the two overlapped on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers staff in 2013.
McNulty has been at Notre Dame the last two seasons and has kept the tight end room at a level that is as high as just about any in college football. The move would add to the list of assistants that were initially thought to be sticking around but instead won’t actually be a part of Freeman’s first staff at Notre Dame.
