Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly made some waves on Sunday by abruptly firing Brian Vangorder as Notre Dame defensive coordinator less than 24 hours after staunchly defending him. Kelly tapped former Notre Dame linebacker Greg Hudson to fill in as the interim defensive coordinator. Here’s a rundown of the man tasked with trying to put out the fires surrounding the smoldering Notre Dame defense.
Greg Hudson was a reserve linebacker for Notre Dame in the late 80’s originally recruited as part of the last recruiting class of Gerry Faust. Hudson played on special teams and as a reserve linebacker for Lou Holtz once Holtz took over the reigns of the Notre Dame program before eventually playing baseball for the Irish after essentially getting recruited over by Holtz.
Hudson returned to Notre Dame in 1993 as a graduate assistant for Holtz after coaching linebackers at the University of Redlands. Hudson’s Notre Dame ties didn’t end there though. From 1994-1996 he joined Skip Holtz’s staff at UConn as an offensive line coach. In 1997 he joined former Notre Dame DC Rick Minter at Cincinnati in various roles (OL, RB, LB).
In 2001 Hudson moved to Minnesota under Glen Mason as recruiting coordinator and linebackers coach before getting his first defensive coordinator position in 2002 with the Golden Gophers. In 2005 Hudson was reunited with Skip Holtz at East Carolina serving as Holtz’s defensive coordinator.
