James Laurinaitis and Marcus Freeman are reuniting.
Laurinaitis, who played alongside Freeman in Ohio State’s linebacker corps from 2005-08, announced Monday on 97.1 The Fan’s “Bishop & Laurinaitis” that he is joining Freeman’s coaching staff at Notre Dame after Freeman became Notre Dame’s new head coach in December.
You heard it here officially first: @JLaurinaitis55 is joining the staff at Notre Dame! But he will finish out the week on our show.
Congrats James! — Bishop and Laurinaitis (@971BLS) January 3, 2022Notre Dame has not yet announced what Laurinaitis’ specific role will be, though he is not expected to be a position coach.
