Notre Dame is hiring former West Virginia assistant coach Jevaughn Codlin as an analyst, according to multiple reports.

In a strategic move to bolster their defensive coaching staff, the University of Notre Dame has announced the hiring of Zac Alley, a seasoned defensive assistant coach with a rich history at West Virginia University (WVU). Alley’s appointment is poised to bring fresh insights and a wealth of experience to the Fighting Irish’s defense.

Zac Alley’s Coaching Journey

Zac Alley’s coaching career began at Clemson University, where he served as a student assistant from 2011 to 2014 and later as a graduate assistant until 2018. During his tenure, he was part of a coaching team that secured two national championships under head coach Dabo Swinney. Alley’s dedication and acumen in defensive strategies were evident early on, setting the stage for his subsequent roles.

In 2019, Alley transitioned to Boise State University as the inside linebackers coach. His adaptability was showcased when he took on the roles of outside linebackers coach and co-special teams coordinator in 2020. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, including contracting the virus himself, Alley remained committed to his coaching responsibilities.

The following year, at just 27, Alley became the youngest defensive coordinator in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) when he joined the University of Louisiana–Monroe (ULM). His tenure at ULM was marked by a revitalization of the team’s defense, earning him recognition for his innovative approaches.

Alley’s collaboration with head coach Rich Rodriguez began at Jacksonville State University in 2022, where he served as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Under their leadership, the team achieved impressive defensive statistics, including a top-25 ranking in points allowed per game and clinching the ASUN Conference Championship. Their success continued into the FBS in 2023, with Jacksonville State finishing 9-4 and securing the school’s first bowl game victory.

In January 2024, Alley advanced to the University of Oklahoma as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. There, he orchestrated a remarkable turnaround, elevating the team’s defense from a #99 total defense ranking in 2023 to a top-20 finish in 2024. The Sooners’ defense excelled in multiple categories, including defensive touchdowns and tackles for loss.

By December 2024, Alley reunited with Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia University, assuming the roles of assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. This partnership was anticipated to fortify WVU’s defense, blending Alley’s tactical expertise with Rodriguez’s leadership.

Transition to Notre Dame

Notre Dame’s decision to bring Zac Alley on board reflects their commitment to enhancing their defensive strategies. Alley’s rapid ascent in the coaching realm is a testament to his profound understanding of the game and his ability to adapt to diverse challenges. His experience across various programs has equipped him with a comprehensive perspective on defensive play, which is expected to benefit the Fighting Irish significantly.

While specific details about Alley’s role at Notre Dame are yet to be disclosed, his track record suggests a focus on revitalizing and strengthening the team’s defensive unit. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how his innovative approaches will translate on the field, especially given Notre Dame’s storied football tradition.

Looking Ahead

As the Fighting Irish prepare for the upcoming season, the integration of Zac Alley into the coaching staff signifies a strategic enhancement of their defensive capabilities. His diverse experiences and proven success in previous roles position him as a valuable asset to Notre Dame. The football community will be watching closely to observe the impact of this hire on the team’s performance and how Alley’s defensive philosophies will mesh with Notre Dame’s established systems.

In summary, Notre Dame’s acquisition of former West Virginia defensive assistant coach Zac Alley underscores a proactive approach to strengthening their football program. With Alley’s impressive background and innovative mindset, the Fighting Irish are poised to make significant strides in their defensive play in the seasons to come.
