Things are flying in at a mile a minute so I apologize for all the threads and different updates, this is what happens when you are in the midst of coaching search season.
As hinted earlier, Sherrone Moore is making a run at Notre Dame Director of Recruiting Chad Bowden and we're told it's a significant one.
The two started talking this week and conversations continue into Tuesday as interest is very much mutual at this point. We're told that Moore is swinging for the fences when it comes to Bowden. With Director of Player Personnel Tom Gamble leaving the program, likely following Jim Harbaugh to Los Angeles, Moore is offering the role to Bowden which would be a step up compared to what he has in South Bend.
This includes a significant pay raise, increased staff, and, of course, an increased role. It's an offer that Bowden can't ignore.
However, the big pull for Bowden to remain in South Bend is his friendship and loyalty to Marcus Freeman. The two have been working together for years at various stops and both are very good friends. The Irish will do whatever it takes to keep him, so it's not going to be as easy as simply letting him go.
We're told that Freeman plans to speak to Bowden one-on-one at some point and there should be some finality to this sooner rather than later, just depends on when the talk happens.
Moore is swinging for the fences but the Irish won't go down without a fight.
Stay tuned.
