• Notre Dame will have to join the coaching carousel with Max Bullough's departure (slapthesign.com) — Notre Dame football is losing linebackers coach Max Bullough, who’s leaving to become co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at his alma mater, Michigan State. His departure means the Irish must dive into the coaching carousel to fill a key defensive role. Local fans will see this as both a homecoming for Bullough and a pivotal staff decision for Notre Dame.
