Overview

  • Talks to return the former MSU standout are described as being finalized or ongoing, with no official announcement from either school yet.
  • FootballScoop reports that Notre Dame assistant Tre Reader is expected to join Michigan State as assistant linebackers coach.
  • Coverage identifies Bullough’s role as co-defensive coordinator working alongside Rossi, who remains in charge of calling the defense.
  • Bullough leaves Notre Dame after two seasons coaching linebackers, following graduate-assistant stints at Cincinnati and Alabama and a promotion in South Bend.
  • Pat Fitzgerald’s early staff rebuild emphasizes defensive identity and alumni ties, and Notre Dame now must address staff vacancies, with reporting pointing to analyst Andy Buh as a logical option.
