SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -Former Grand Valley State head coach Chuck Martin, former Cincinnati assistant Mike Elston and Mike Denbrock, who coached at Notre Dame under Tyrone Willingham, have been hired as Fighting Irish assistants.
New head coach Brian Kelly on Tuesday announced the hirings, naming Martin the defensive backs coach, Elston the defensive line coach and Denbrock, an Indiana State assistant last season, as tight ends coach. They join running backs coach Tony Alford, the only assistant retained from Charlie Weis’ staff.
Kelly says the three new assistants understand the importance of player development and share his philosophies on how to make the team better.
Kelly still has five more assistant coaching jobs to fill.
