Al Washington was out of a job less than 72 hours.
The former Ohio State linebackers coach will reportedly be the next Notre Dame defensive line coach. ESPN’s Pete Thamel first reported the news, which was subsequently confirmed by several other media outlets.
Washington replaces Mike Elston, who spent 12 seasons at Notre Dame and nine of those coaching the defensive line. Elston is reportedly taking a similar job at Michigan.
Washington, a Columbus native, worked two seasons for Ryan Day’s Buckeyes. Before returning home, Washington was the Michigan Wolverines’ linebacker coach for one season and a defensive line coach for the Cincinnati Bearcats for one season under current Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman.
