**Breaking News: Notre Dame Expected to Hire Penn State’s Ja’Juan Seider as New Running Backs Coach**
In a significant move for Notre Dame football, the university is expected to hire Ja’Juan Seider, the highly regarded running backs coach from Penn State, to join their coaching staff. Seider, who has gained recognition for his work in developing top-tier running backs, is poised to take over as the Fighting Irish’s running backs coach following the departure of Deland McCullough, who left to join the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders.
Seider has had a noteworthy career at Penn State, where he served as the running backs coach for multiple seasons, overseeing the development of standout players such as Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen. His role expanded in 2021 when he was promoted to co-offensive coordinator and assistant head coach, further solidifying his impact on the team’s offensive success. Prior to his time with Penn State, Seider held coaching positions at Florida, West Virginia, and Marshall, where he built a reputation for his ability to elevate running back talent.
This move to Notre Dame is expected to strengthen the program’s running back position and bring a fresh, experienced voice to the staff. Notre Dame has yet to make an official announcement, but the hiring is expected to be finalized soon.
