Of course it’s the week that the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are prepping for the ACC Championship game against Clemson — as well as signing day — that we have to focus on a coaching search. Irish defensive coordinator, Clark Lea, was named as the new head coach for the Vanderbilt Commodores on Monday, but he will stay on through the remainder of Notre Dame’s season.
So... Notre Dame is going to need a new defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. While I could provide the same list of possible replacements as everyone else right now — I’m going to just throw down what I think SHOULD happen in this coaching search.
