It might be a short lived Irish coaching career for Deland McCullough if the rumors are true. According to John Brice of FootballScoop.com the New York Giants are “making a run” at McCullough.
It seems like not only is Marcus Freeman recruiting high school athletes, he’s working on keeping McCullough in the Blue and Gold and not bolting for the NFL before even coaching a single game for the Irish. McCullough is no stranger to the NFL, he was the KC Chiefs running backs coach from 2018-2020.
The majority of his experience is that the collegiate level but the allure of the NFL is always tempting for any coach. Time will tell where McCullough ends up and hopefully his stint in South Bend isn’t extremely short.
