Notre Dame Offensive Coordinator Search: Irish get deKleined

Could an ultimate decision be coming soon?

When I went to bed last night it seemed the idea of Kansas State offensive coordinator Collin Klein becoming Notre Dame’s next offensive coordinator was picking up steam. Then shortly after getting going on Friday morning it was reported by Heather Dinich of ESPN that Klein will not be getting the open job with the Irish.

Dinich reported on Twitter that “K-State OC Collin Klein is no longer a candidate for the ND OC position. He did have conversations and interview, according to sources.”

Late Thursday, we went into detail about the things Klein did particularly well in his one year calling plays at Kansas State.

Combine Dinich’s report on Klein with Thursday night’s story at Football Scoop and it would appear the search is down to two candidates, both of which call the Pac-12 home. Andy Ludwig of Utah brings over 30 years of coaching experience while Sean Lewis of Colorado is an on-the-rise offensive mind in the collegiate ranks.

Notre Dame Offensive Coordinator Search: 3 leaders emerge

Which candidate are you hoping most for and why?

A week after Tommy Rees left Notre Dame to become Alabama’s offensive coordinator, it appears Marcus Freeman and Ron Powlus are making progress in the search for a replacement. After some internet rumors proved untrue earlier in the week, it appears to be a three-man race.

Football Scoop has been all over this story like they almost always are with coaching news and gave an update Thursday evening. The site had named two of the three emerging candidates as being vetted. Though it added that at least one other Power Five offensive coordinator had been discussed, it didn’t give a name. The third of the three fits that mold.

Here are the key details from the latest Football Scoop report:
