Notre Dame has ripped another coach off the Cincinnati Bearcat coaching tree, and it’s another outstanding hire. According to Pete Thamel, Notre Dame and Brian Mason have agreed to terms to be the next Special Teams Coordinator at Notre Dame. Irish Illustrated was first to report a deal was imminent earlier this week.
Mason replaces the only assistant coach from Notre Dame who willingly followed Brian Kelly to LSU in December, Brian Polian. Polian left Notre Dame last month to begin working with Kelly in Baton Rouge, leaving the special teams coordinator position open for the Irish during bowl prep.
