Rudolph officially named to Notre Dame staff

Notre Dame made it official on Tuesday morning when they officially announced Joe Rudolph as their new offensive line coach.  Rudolph takes over for Harry Hiestand who retired in early February after returning to coach Notre Dame’s offensive line last year.

Notre Dame put out the official press release on the hiring of Rudolph Tuesday.  You can read it in full below.

SOUTH BEND, IN – Joe Rudolph, most recently the offensive line coach and run game coordinator at Virginia Tech, has been named the Joe Moore Offensive Line Coach at the University of Notre Dame. The 18-year coaching veteran and Pennsylvania native developed some of the most dominant offensive lines in college football during his time at Wisconsin from 2015-21 and boasts eight years of offensive coordinator experience. The hiring will be effective at the conclusion of the University’s standard employment process.

Tom Brady jokes with new Notre Dame teammate upon signing

We’ll always have 1998, @tombrady.

Former Notre Dame tight [autotag]Kyle Rudolph[/autotag] spent the first 10 years of his NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings before being a member of the New York Giants in 2021.  After being released earlier this off-season, Rudolph officially has a new home as he’s signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Obviously this means that Rudolph will be teaming up with [autotag]Tom Brady[/autotag] as the legendary quarterback decided to opt out of retirement this off-season.  Perhaps Rudolph can be thankful that Rob Gronkowski stayed retired for this opportunity, but I’m certain he’s thrilled to be joining the Bucs after spending last year with the dumpster fire that is the football Giants.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Brady was quick to show off his sense of humor after the Rudolph signing was made official.

It’s not that I dislike Brady because in fact its the entire opposite, especially as he’s gotten out of New England and become more likable seemingly by the day.  However, imagine making your first collegiate start and not only losing but failing to throw a touchdown pass altogether against an opposing team who was coached by Bob Davie.

Yikes, Tom!
