Four days before Notre Dame kicks off spring football, Notre Dame finally made the hiring of special teams coordinator Marti Biagi official on Saturday.
He replaces Brian Mason, who’s now with the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts.
Biagi, 37, was a special teams analyst at Notre Dame seven seasons ago and most recently comes from a one-year stint at Ole Miss. Here’s a look at some high highs and some perplexing recent metrics.
“We are pleased to add a coach of the caliber of Marty Biagi to our program,” Irish head coach Marcus Freeman said Saturday via prepared statement. “He has coached his special teams units to great success at multiple schools. He is an elite recruiter and developer of talent. We are excited to have Marty here with us.”
The first of 15 spring practices starts at 7:55 a.m. EDT on Wednesday at the Irish Athletics Center, and concludes with the Blue-Gold Game April 22 at Notre Dame Stadium.
