There is finally some real news about Notre Dame and its search for a new defensive coordinator. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish fired Brian VanGorder back in September, just days after a loss to Duke in South Bend. Since then, Brian Kelly placed Greg Hudson in an interim role as defensive coordinator, but also tapped Mike Elston to help with a lot of those responsibilities as well.
Brian Kelly had stated only a short while ago that he would not just be looking to promote from within the program, but that he was looking around the country as well.
