Rob Ianello has been with Notre Dame since Charlie Weis took over in 2005.

Ianello has coached the receivers and been the Irish's recruiting coordinator, and before the start of this season, he added assistant head coach to his résumé.

With the news that Weis was fired Monday, Ianello added another new title – interim head coach.

Ianello will oversee the program while the university searches for Weis' replacement.

"We're going to be back in the weight room tomorrow morning," Ianello said. "We're going to be in the weight room a couple times this week and a couple times next week with the whole team until a bowl game situation is sorted out."

Ianello said it would be athletic director Jack Swarbrick's decision if he would coach Notre Dame in a bowl game, if the Irish accept an invitation.

While Ianello is taking care of Notre Dame's football present, he and the other members of the staff will also be taking care of the program's future.

"We're going to have seven coaches on the road recruiting as of tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday and Thursday for this university," Ianello said. "Coaches are going to go out and contact, first and foremost, all our committed players and see some guys that are uncommitted."

Ianello said Weis has been tutoring him about coaching and more since he arrived at Notre Dame.

"I've learned a great deal from him during my time here, so it's kind of been on ongoing advice, but just to take care of your family is the No. 1 thing he's told me during that transition, and I certainly appreciate that," Ianello said.
