Legendary Irish Head Coach John Nickell is coming off his second National title in a row and is the reigning three-time NCAA coach of the year. His 75-5 regular season record and 5 Independent Division Titles has him on the fast track for NCAA infamy. A defensive guru at his core, Nickell has the Irish offense headed toward heights that seemed unattainable when he took the job in 2017. Perhaps his biggest strength is his ability to breakdown an opponent and his strategic eye for gameplanning.
