Irish247 has learned that North Carolina defensive line coach Keith Gilmore is slated to hold the same position at Notre Dame this coming fall.

Our source was not sure when Gilmore would arrive in South Bend.

Gilmore himself told Irish247 insider Tom Loy he has no comment right now.

Update: 5:25 p.m/ Ross Martin from Carolina Blue tells Irish247 that a source of his says Gilmore has not taken the job yet.

Irish247 has also learned that Autry Denson will likely be the next running backs coach, pending his background check.

This Gilmore hire would go along with what we’ve been reporting, that former Irish defensive line coach Mike Elston will now work with the outside linebackers.

Gilmore worked with Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly at Cincinnati before taking a job at Illinois. He has produced several NFL players including Akeem Spence, Michael Buchanan, Kareem Martin, Whitney Mer-cilus and Corey Lugiet.

“He’s a very good coach,” a source that worked with Gilmore at a previous stop tells Irish247. “He can relate to the kids, coaches them hard. Doesn’t put up with any BS.

“A very personable good guy and he works those kids really hard.”

Gilmore is also a solid recruiter.

“In home he does a nice job,” our source said.

Loy got more from another source on Gilmore.

"Gilmore is really knowledgeable of the nuances of the defensive line. He's very, very smart. He's also very personable and friendly. He demands a lot, but he goes about it the right way and the players respect him.

"In recruiting Gilmore works hard. He's great with evaluating players early. He's great in home (as said earlier). Parents like his personality, knowledge of the game and his experience."

A South Florida native, Denson is Notre Dame's all-time leading rusher. He would join the Notre Dame staff after holding the same position at South Florida.

Denson would replace Tony Alford who took the same position earlier this month with Ohio State.
