Notre Dame hires offensive analyst with ties to Gerad Parker
Gerad Parker’s elevation to Notre Dame offensive coordinator has given him more power on filling support staff positions. He has identified an old coworker for one of those spots.
Caleb Carbine has joined the Irish’s staff as a senior offensive analyst, his Twitter profile shows. FootballScoop also reported the news Wednesday. Carbine worked with Parker at West Virginia from 2020-21, serving as a Mountaineers grad assistant working with tight ends, fullbacks, offensive line and quarterbacks. Parker was West Virginia’s offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach in both seasons.
Carbine spent the 2022 season as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator at FCS program North Alabama. He came to West Virginia in 2019, following head coach Neal Brown from Troy. He was on Brown’s Troy staff from 2016-18 as a grad assistant. He worked with special teams his first season and with the offensive line his next two.
Offensive line is Carbine’s background. He played the position at North Alabama in 2010 and at Troy from 2011-14. He transferred as a walk-on, earned a scholarship and was the Trojans’ starting center for two years. He’s a native of Florence, Ala.

The turnover this offseason among Notre Dame’s offensive staff has extended beyond the departure of two key assistants for position coach jobs. Trevor Mendelson, an analyst from 2021-22, is now Western Michigan’s offensive line coach. He joined former Irish running backs coach Lance Taylor, who Western Michigan named head coach in December. Analyst Gus Ragland left in January to be East Tennessee State’s quarterbacks coach, but took the same job at Miami (Ohio) a few weeks later.
Notre Dame also lost defensive graduate assistant James Laurinaitis, who left after one season to take the same job at Ohio State, his alma mater. He was teammates with Marcus Freeman from 2005-08, and the two started at linebacker for the Buckeyes. The Irish replaced him with Alabama analyst and former Michigan State linebacker Max Bullough.
Notre Dame completed its on-field staff Monday by identifying Virginia Tech offensive line coach Joe Rudolph to fill the same position. He has not been formally announced yet. He replaced Harry Hiestand, who retired last month. Parker and quarterbacks coach Gino Guidugli replaced offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, who left to take the same role at Alabama.
