Notre Dame Hiring Former Ohio State LB Coach Al Washington
According to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Notre Dame is hiring former Ohio State linebackers coach Al Washington as its new defensive run game coordinator and defensive line coach.
Washington spent the last three seasons with the Buckeyes but was not retained after Ohio State hired new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, who will now coach the linebackers in Columbus. He replaces Mike Elston, who was recently named as the defensive line coach at Michigan after 12 seasons with the Fighting Irish.
Notre Dame’s staff now includes a pair of former Ohio State linebackers in head coach Marcus Freeman and James Laurinaitis, whose role has not yet been announced, as well as its former linebackers coach in Washington. The Fighting Irish open the upcoming season on Sept. 3 against the Buckeyes in Columbus.
This is a breaking news story that will be updated.
