Report: Notre Dame football raids LSU coaching staff for the second time in a month

SOUTH BEND — Notre Dame football reportedly has raided LSU’s coaching staff again.

According to the trade publication Football Scoop, senior offensive analyst Trent Miles is leaving the Bayou for the same role at Notre Dame.
