Notre Dame Director of Football Performance resigns

ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. - Matt Balis, the University of Notre Dame’s Trematerra Family Director of Football Performances, has resigned from the position for personal reasons, the university announced Tuesday.

“I want to thank Coach Balis for all of the work he put into elevating our program,” said Head Coach Marcus Freeman. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for who he is as a coach and a man. While there is never a perfect time to lose a valuable teammate, we are thankful that Coach Balis was able to see us through our summer program and have our players physically prepared to head into the upcoming season.”

Balis had been with the Irish since 2017. 

Fred Hale will lead the strength and conditioning program for the time being, according to Freeman.
