Not official yet... but E don't care: Congrats and s/o to our new RB coach @CoachTonyAlford Hope you are ready to do some special things. Let's go take over the country. #GoBucks— Ezekiel Elliott (@EzekielElliott) February 7, 2015
Great hire... Alford was also Notre Dame's recruiting coordinator... Urban gets who he wants... Love the hire...
He's recruited some nice talent to ND... He's the one who recruited Davinte Neal there, even though he didn't end up staying. Some others he recruited to ND: Tai-ler Jones Louis Nix George Atkinson Everette Golson Aaron Lynch Greg Bryant Mike Heuerman
He has a strong presence in the southeast as well and Arizona and Colorado. This is a home run hire IMO...
Alford takes ‘leap of faith’ - Notre Dame - Scout http://t.co/L2afr0e5kI— OSUBasketballJunkie (@ScarletBuckeye2) February 7, 2015
A lot of people consider this an upgrade. I will take a wait and see approach before I say that but he is already a great recruiter and working with Urban Meyer will make him even better. I really like the body of work from Drayton, on the field especially. What he did with Hyde and Zeke was amazing. Here's to hoping Alford can keep the train rolling and have this Running Back U by the time Kareem Walker leaves.

In 3 seasons, Urban Meyer sent four OSU assistants onto head-coaching jobs or the NFL. Think Tony Alford noticed? http://t.co/ap6PUUkxqk— Austin Ward (@AWardSports) February 9, 2015
