In today’s day and age, schools have to get pretty creative and use everything they have at their disposal on the recruiting trail. Sometimes that involves promoting a former star player from a rival school when that player’s former position coach is now on your staff. That is exactly what Notre Dame is doing right now with former Stanford great Christian McCaffrey – current Notre Dame RB coach Lance Taylor‘s star pupil.
For some background here, McCaffrey just signed a contract extension with the Carolina Panthers that made him the highest-paid running back in NFL history.
