Chuck Martin Reportedly Leaving Notre Dame for Miami RedHawks Job

After two seasons in South Bend, Notre Dame offensive coordinator Chuck Martin is taking his talents to Miami.

Miami, Ohio, that is.

According to CBS Sports’ Bruce Feldman, Martin is set to become the next head coach at Miami (Ohio) University:

Although excited for his future, Martin feels a little regret in leaving behind the place he called home for the past four years:

Landing Martin is certainly the first bit of positive news Miami has received all season.

Following a 0-5 start, the RedHawks fired head coach Don Treadwell. The team went on to finish 0-12 and has now lost 16 straight dating back to last October.

Fortunately, Martin knows a thing or two about leading a successful football program.

From 2004-09, the 45-year-old accumulated a 74-7 record with Div. II’s Grand Valley State. He led the Lakers to two NCAA Div. II National Football Championships (2005, 2006) while going undefeated in the regular season from 2005-09.

Furthermore, Martin holds the all-time NCAA Division II record, winning 40 consecutive games from 2005-07.

However, his success has yet to translate to the Div. I game. Over the last two seasons with the Irish, the team has ranked No. 80 and No. 75 in scoring while ranking No. 54 and No. 76 in total offense respectively.

In taking the job, Martin will be inheriting a Miami squad that finished dead last in scoring in 2013, averaging a meager 9.8 points per game. The team also ranked No. 122 in total offense (225.8 YPG).

Talk about a challenge.
