Brian Polian is expected to join Brian Kelly's coaching staff, a source tells WNDU. He interviewed Friday.

Polian is likely to become Notre Dame's Special Teams Coordinator, a job he held under Charlie Weis at Notre Dame from 2005-2009.

Polian is known to be an excellent recruiter. He's the coach that brought Manti Te'o to Notre Dame.

The 41-year-old has spent the last four seasons as the head coach at Nevada, but parted ways with the Wolf Pack following this past season. Polian and Nevada lost to Notre Dame 39-10 in the 2nd game of the 2016 season. Polian was 23-27 in his time at Nevada.

After Notre Dame, he also served as special teams coach at Stanford and Texas A&M before becoming head coach at Nevada.

Polian has long professed his love for his time at Notre Dame.

He'll take over a special teams unit that struggled greatly in 2016 and will replace Scott Booker, who was let go earlier this week.

Notre Dame has not confirmed the expecting hiring of Polian nor has it confirmed the expected hiring of Wake Forest's Mike Elko as defensive coordinator.
