Earlier this month, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman announced the promotion of Max Bullough to linebackers coach after Bullough worked last season in a graduate assistant capacity. The elevation of Bullough lessens the workload of veteran coach Al Golden, who had been serving in both that role and as the Irish defensive coordinator.
A Spartan Connection
Bullough comes from a legendary football family that developed strong roots at Michigan State. His grandfather, Hank, played there in the 1950s and sandwiched stints as an assistant coach at the school between a long career as an NFL assistant.
