BRIEF: Autry Denson, Keith Gilmore to join Notre Dame staff: Reports

Feb. 18--SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly continues to finalize his staff with the reported additions of running backs coach Autry Denson and defensive line coach Keith Gilmore, according to multiple reports.

Denson, the Irish's all-time leading rusher, will join his alma mater from South Florida to fill the void left by Tony Alford, who left for Ohio State.

Gilmore, who coached with Kelly at Grand Valley State and Central Michigan, comes over from North Carolina. Sports Illustrated reported outside linebackers coach Bob Elliott will likely move inside to accomodate the two additions.

Also expected to join the Irish staff are defensive backs coach Todd Lyght and offensive coordinator Mike Sanford, though Notre Dame has made no official announcments regarding staff changes.
