Newsstand: James Franklin addresses Notre Dame hiring running backs coach Ja’Juan Seider
According to several reports, Notre Dame is set to hire Penn State running backs coach Ja’Juan Seider to the same position. While the Irish have not officially announced the hire, Nittany Lions head coach James Franklin seemingly confirmed the news during his winter press conference Tuesday.
“Ja’Juan Seider, after being with us for seven years, did a great job for us, has moved on,” Franklin said, according to Blue White Illustrated. “We wish him nothing but the best.”
Seider had been with Penn State for several seasons, but he’s on his way to South Bend after previous Notre Dame running backs coach Deland McCullough left for the Las Vegas Raiders.
“In some way, it’s a shame that seven years is a long time,” Franklin said. “But gave our program and our community seven years, and did a really good job for us. So we’re appreciative of that.”

“The only thing that can beat us is ourselves. We don’t come in, we don’t take care of business, we don’t take care of the ball like we should, we don’t play like we know we can, we can lose. But at the same time, no one can beat us if we’re playing how we play. We’re the only things blocking our own success. It’s a blessing and a curse.”
