An Irish football source tells WNDU that Notre Dame has not parted ways with defensive line coach Keith Gilmore despite a report suggesting they have.

Irish Illustrated's Tim Prister--who has been all over the coaching moves for Notre Dame over the last week---reported Monday afternoon that Gilmore was out as an Notre Dame assistant.

Whether Gilmore ultimately remains on the job remains on the scene but our source was adamant that his status hasn't changed. The source said Notre Dame's new defensive coordinator--reportedly Mike Elko-- will get a chance to meet with all members of the defensive staff to determine who will continue on.

Gilmore was hired by Kelly in 2015, after previously serving as defensive line coach for Illinois and North Carolina.

Prior to coaching at those two programs, Gilmore has had coaching history with Kelly.

Gilmore was the linebackers and running backs coach as well as the recruiting coordinator from 1991-1993 when Kelly was the head coach at Grand Valley State.

He was also Kelly's defensive line coach when Kelly was head coach at Central Michigan (2006) and Cincinnati (2007-2008).

Notre Dame ranked 71st in the country in total rush defense in 2016. Of the 14 sacks the Irish recorded this past season, only three of them came from a defensive lineman.
