Notre Dame Looking To Hire Gerad Parker To Coach Tight Ends
Notre Dame is poised to hire West Virginia offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Gerad Parker as its tight ends coach. Parker has not yet accepted the position but Notre Dame expects him to do so. Parker would replace John McNulty, who recently left to become the offensive coordinator at Boston College.
Parker spent the last two seasons running the offense at West Virginia while also coaching wide receivers. He spent the 2019 season coaching wide receivers at Penn State and was at Duke from 2017-18. Penn State went 11-2 and won the Cotton Bowl in his one season there before getting hired as the OC at West Virginia.
Parker spent the 2013-16 seasons coaching tight ends (2013-14), wide receivers (2015-16) and he was also the recruiting coordinator. Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman coached with Parker at Purdue from 2013-16.
That connection would help explain how this transition was able to happen so quickly.
According to sources, Parker has a very strong reputation as a recruiter. He was responsible for landing four-star wideouts Parker Washington and Keandre Lambert in just one season at Penn State. Washington was Penn State's second leading receiver in 2021 and Lambert was third.
