The Notre Dame Fighting Irish continue to prepare for their upcoming Fiesta Bowl game against the Oklahoma State Cowboys, but as the clock winds down for that game so too does the clock for hiring new assistants.
The hiring of Marcus Freeman as Notre Dame’s head football coach essentially came with a built-in staff for next season. Special teams coach Brian Polian is the only one following Brian Kelly to the LSU Tigers. We know for sure that a lot of assistants are staying for 2022 such as; Mike Elston, Tommy Rees, Chris O’Leary, Mike Mickens, John McMulty, and Lance Taylor.
