Notre Dame and head coach Marcus Freeman are adding former Auburn and Indiana running back Shaun Shivers to their coaching staff. Shivers will work for the Fighting Irish as an assistant wide receivers coach, per Mike Singer of Blue and Gold with On3.
In January, Shivers was hired as a running backs assistant coach. At the time, Florida State offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn had not announced his retirement from coaching. Shivers played for Malzahn when he was the head coach at Auburn from 2018-21. During his Auburn career, Shivers rushed for 1,020 yards and eight touchdowns.
Shivers would then transfer to Indiana to play his final season of college football. For the Hoosiers in 2022, he rushed for 592 yards and six touchdowns. Malzahn has been known to give former players opportunities as assistant coaches, but when he retired, it could have caused Shivers to consider other coaching jobs.
At Notre Dame, Shivers will coach under wide receivers coach Mike Brown. There, he will be working with returning receiver Jordan Faison and newcomer Quincy Porter. Those receivers will be catching passes from second-year quarterback C.J. Carr, who passed for 2,741 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Before accepting the position with Florida State, Shivers was on staff with Eastern Michigan as an offensive assistant for the 2025 season. Before that, he was a high school football assistant at his alma mater, Chaminade-Madonna. Auburn fans will have reason to pay attention to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish for the 2026 season.
