Oklahoma’s Porter Moser has no interest in Notre Dame coaching job
Those of you who were getting excited about the prospect of Oklahoma coach Porter Moser taking the Notre Dame job will have to stop. Sooners beat reporter Eli Lederman of the Tulsa World has tweeted that Moser is not interested in succeeding Mike Brey as the next Irish coach:
Porter Moser on reports linking him to the Notre Dame job: “I’m a catholic kid from Chicago…I have a lot of respect for that university.”
“With that said, I have no interest. I’ve not pursued it nor do I have any interest. Oklahoma’s my home”

While this undoubtedly is disappointing to those who hoped Moser could revitalize the Irish like he revitalized Loyola-Chicago, it might be for the best. Moser took the Sooners job after securing his legacy in the Windy City’s Rogers Park neighborhood, but his success didn’t go with him, at least not yet. Less than two years into his tenure, he has a 31-29 record. Now might not be the time for him to switch jobs again.
Not to worry though. There are plenty of candidates out there. We just need to have faith that Jack Swarbrick will make the right selection, difficult as that may be at times.
