Rumors swirled that Boston College would be looking to hire a defensive coordinator as their new head coach. They looked to the midwest, and rumors swirled that Notre Dame defensive coordinator Clark Lea was towards the top of the list. In the end, they went for Jeff Hafley, now the former Ohio State defensive coordinator.
Recently, LSU hired Bo Pelini to be their defensive coordinator. This left the Youngstown State head coaching job open, but effectively filled all the major coaching vacancies. It certainly sealed up the chances Lea leaves Notre Dame. Now, there aren’t any jobs available that would be seen on the same level.
