The story broke this afternoon that Boise State's offensive coordinator Mike Sanford, Jr. would be joining Brian Kelly's staff at Notre Dame -- the local media in Boise is reporting he's off to South Bend as well...
THERE HAS BEEN NO OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION FROM NOTRE DAME.
Sanford is considered to be one of the "hot" young guns in the college football coaching ranks. He is rumored to have turned down Urban Meyer to be the Offensive Coordinator at Ohio State just a few weeks ago.
Sanford is no stranger to the area. He played QB at Mishawaka's Penn HS (photo above) while his dad (Mike Sanford, Sr.) coached QB's at Notre Dame on Bob Davie's staff -- his sister Lindsay is a Notre Dame alumae.
Sounds like an exciting addition to the Notre Dame football staff!
