Byron Leftwich might have a new job lined up soon.
According to Grace Remington of 247Sports, Leftwich reached out to Notre Dame about its offensive coordinator position last week.
He and head coach Marcus Freeman have stayed in contact since and he remains a serious candidate for the position.
Leftwich was fired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after their season came to an end in the wild-card round against the Dallas Cowboys. The Bucs’ offense struggled throughout the season and head coach Todd Bowles decided to make a change.
Notre Dame is in need of a new offensive coordinator after Tommy Rees left to take the same gig at Alabama.
Naturally, the football community had a lot of thoughts about this report.
“I honestly…really like this,” another tweet read.
“This would be a very interesting addition to the staff in South Bend,” another fan tweeted.
Do you think Leftwich would be a good fit in South Bend?
