It appears Notre Dame has found their new wide receivers coach.
Less than a week after parting ways with Chansi Stuckey, the Irish are headed back to Wisconsin for another assistant.
Back to Wisconsin via Cincinnati, anyway.
According to reports from 247Sports and Bucky’s 5th Quarter, Notre Dame will be hiring Mike Brown to be their next wide receivers coach. Brown coached the receivers at Wisconsin this season after having spent the previous four seasons at Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati connection is worth noting not just because of Marcus Freeman but also because of quarterbacks coach Gino Guidugli whose time overlapped with Brown. Both followed Luke Fickell to Wisconsin although Guidugli left for Notre Dame before coaching any games.
Brown played at Liberty University before spending three seasons in the NFL.
