Chip Long is exploring other opportunities and is unlikely to return to the Notre Dame staff, sources told FootballScoop Wednesday.

Long has been Notre Dame’s offensive coordinator for the past three years. Hired as part of a staff reboot in the wake of the Fighting Irish’s 4-8 season of 2016, Long has helped Notre Dame go 32-6 with a trip to the College Football Playoff in 2018.

Notre Dame’s numbers were up significantly in 2019. After tying for 47th at an even six yards per play in 2018, the Irish averaged 6.25 this fall (33rd). The club’s scoring average grew from 31.4 points a game last season to 37.1 in 2019.

wasn't he Norvell's OC at one time? If so, maybe he is gonna hook back up with him at FSU?

*just read the link
that would be my guess, is that he is reuniting with Norvell

Is this Long wanting to leave ND, or ND asking Long to look around?

He was a pretty damn good play-caller working with what are limited QBs (Wimbush and Book).

His offenses did tend to sputter against elite defenses, but I’m not sure how much if that is on him vs. Kelly.
