Reports: Notre Dame and offensive coordinator Chip Long to split ways

After a season in which No. 15 Notre Dame both averaged 37.1 points per game and yet fell short of broader offensive expectations, the Irish are expected to find a new offensive coordinator, per reports.

Chip Long has served in the role for three years, arriving as part of the staff shakeup following a 4-8 showing in 2016. FootballScoop.com first reported his looming departure, with Irish Illustrated confirming it. Whether this is Long’s choice or Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly’s depends on the reading of those two reports, though the effect will be the same.
