Marcus Freeman has spent much of his time recently rounding out his staff for his first official season at Notre Dame. The cherry on top came this week with the hiring of Al Golden as the Irish’s third defensive coordinator in as many years. With all of the full-time coaching positions filled, it’s time to find out when into making that happen. That’s what Ralph D. Russo of the Associated Press does in his latest story.
Among the highlights of the story:
- Freeman heavily relied on Tommy Rees to fill the vacant offensive coaching positions.
- Because of his inexperience, Freeman’s network of coaches is not very large.
- Irish athletic director Jack Swarbrick was involved with the interviewing process.
Much more ground is covered in the actual story, which highlights what happens when a major program suddenly is run by a young head coach. Irish fans will be interested to see the impact this will have.
