A former Notre Dame head coach and defensive coordinator could return to South Bend if he remains in his current coaching position through 2019.

New Mexico, coached by Bob Davie, is slated to play Notre Dame in South Bend on Sept. 14, 2019, according to a press release on New Mexico's website.

Davie coached at Notre Dame from 1994-01, serving as a defensive coordinator under Lou Holtz from 1994-96 before working as the head coach from 1997-01. This will be the first meeting between the two programs.

"It's exciting for our entire program to have this opportunity to play at the University of Notre Dame on national television in front of a sold out stadium," Davie said in the press release. "I know our fans will also be thrilled to see this addition to our 2019 schedule."

Notre Dame is 29-6 all-time against opponents from the Mountain West Conference.
