Luck of Irish: They get Tenuta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s interesting that Jon Tenuta is headed to Notre Dame. Being an assistant coach there is like being a coordinator at a lot of other places, prestige-wise. And being a Notre Dame assistant should be a good steppingstone to a head coaching job, assuming that Charlie Weis and his staff can turn things around in South Bend.
Weis saw Tenuta’s work firsthand in the 2007 season opener, when the Yellow Jackets routed the Irish 33-3. It’s a shame that Tech and Notre Dame don’t play this season or next; it would be a lot of fun to watch Paul Johnson coach against a defense with Tenuta on the staff.
I will be curious to see how much of an impact Tenuta has on what Notre Dame does defensively. Does he just coach his position and have little effect on the Irish’s style of play, or do his concepts start showing up on the field?
