Brian Mason had a successful first season as Notre Dame’s special teams coordinator, but he’s not expected back for a second.
Matt Freeman of Irish Sports Daily reports that Mason is expected to take a job on Shane Steichen’s staff with the Colts. Mason grew up in the Indianapolis area and grew up rooting for the team that he will now be working for.
There’s no word on the position Mason will have on Steichen’s staff, but the Colts have not hired a special teams coordinator.
Mason spent four seasons running Cincinnati’s special teams before joining Marcus Freeman in South Bend for the 2022 season. The Irish blocked seven punts during Mason’s lone season at the school.
