Rapid Fire: Stephen A. Smith's Notre Dame Rant, Notre Dame CFP Confusion

Rapid Fire topics include: * Fill-in the blank...All of the uproar about Notre Dame never being able to get a first round College Football Playoff bye after the new 12-team format was finalized yesterday is BLANK. * Stephen A. Smith went on a “Why is Notre Dame relevant considering they haven’t won a championship in 36 years” rant on TV today. We have our answers to his simplistic question. * Fill-in the blank...it’s BLANK that the ACC has approved the use of helmet technology and sideline tablets during games this season. * JJ Watt wants to see more holding flags thrown on offensive linemen trying to block defensive players. He says the way to do it is to reduce the penalty from holding from 10 yards to five yards. He says if you do that it’s more likely to be called more fairly because it’s not as crippling to the offense. Do you Buy or Sell it? * A college basketball writer says if the Super Bowl can kickoff at 6:30, why does the NCAA men’s basketball national championship game not tip until 9:20. What would we do with college basketball’s title game?

Notre Dame Safety Position Has Lots Of Question Marks

Notre Dame will have a new look at safety in 2024 from both a coaching and player standpoint. Only one regular at the position returns, although it's a really good one (Xavier Watts). But the Irish will have a new position coach, a new starter and the depth chart will look way, way different. In this segment I discuss what was lost, what returns, what's new and discuss what needs to happen for Notre Dame to actually be better at safety in 2024, which is possible.

Notre Dame Has A Chance At A Program Changing 2025 Recruiting Class

Notre Dame is off to a strong start with 2025 recruiting, but the finish will be the key. How Notre Dame closes out on seven recruits in particular will go a very, very long way towards determining how good the 2025 class can be. In fact, if they can finish strong it has a chance to be one of the program's best classes of the last two decades.

Rapid Fire: Al Golden's Contract Extension, Deland McCulough's Promotion, Irish Women's Hoops

Today's Rapid Fire edition of IB Nation Sports Talk starts with Sean Stires and Vince DeDario discussing the news that Notre Dame has signed defensive coordinator Al Golden to a four-year contract extension. Other topics include: * Irish running back coach Deland McCullough's promotion to Associate Head Coach * The growing trend of the sons of former NFL players who are playing at Notre Dame.  * How does the fact that this year is the 100-year anniversary of Grantland Rice’s famous "Four Horsemen" affect your opinion of Notre Dame playing Army at Yankee Stadium this season? * After ESPN and the College Football Playoff agreed to a six-year $7.8 billion dollar contract to televise the entire 12-team playoff through the 2031 season, do you Buy or Sell ESPN having the entire playoff inventory rather than splitting it up with other networks being good for college football? * What does Notre Dame women's basketball's 59-43 loss to NC State mean to the big picture of this season for the Irish? * Iowa’s Caitlyn Clark became the NCAA women’s all-time scoring leader when she broke the record in the first two minutes of last night’s win over Michigan. It was a home game but they didn’t stop the game to recognize Clark. Is that Fair or Foul?

Rapid Fire: Marcus Freeman's Contract, Kalen DeBoer, Tommy Rees, Bill Belichick, Jim Harbaugh, NFL

There's a lot to talk about today! We start by looking at whether Notre Dame needs to redo Marcus Freeman's contract after he was mentioned this week in connection to Alabama's opening. Other topics include: * Thoughts on Kalen DeBoer leaving Washington for Alabama.  * Thoughts on Tommy Rees being an Alabama candidate.  * Pete Carroll for Washington?  * Should Nick Saban have given Alabama more notice of his depature to help his successor prepare for the future? * If you were an NFL team would you have more interest in Jim Harbaugh or Bill Belichick? * Which is the more intriguing return to their old team this weekend in the NFL playoffs: Matt Stafford and the Rams in Detroit or Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins in Kansas City. * Monday’s Michigan-Washington national championship game drew 25 million viewers. The most since LSU-Clemson drew 26.2 million four years ago. Will Saturday’s Chiefs-Dolphins game that is being broadcast exclusively on the Peacock app top that viewership number? * The 2007 Giants and the 2011 Packers are two of the more recent examples of wild card teams that got hot late in the season and won the Super Bowl. Is there a team you see in that mold this year? * Build a three-game parlay for this weekend’s playoff games.

What Does A Strong 2023 Finish Look Like For Notre Dame

There's no doubt that Notre Dame's 2023 campaign will be considered a disappointment. At best the Irish can finish just one game better than it did a season ago.

Notre Dame needs to bounce back and finish strong, and that goes beyond just beating two bad teams and winning a bowl game. In this show we break down what it means for Notre Dame to finish strong as a team, and especially on offense.

Rapid Fire: Sam Hartman, Irish Receivers And Running Backs, More ND NBC TV Booth Criticism

Rapid Fire topics include: * Sam Hartman cited UFC champion Jon Jones after the Irish win over USC.  * What’s more likely to happen: Notre Dame has one receiver top 100 yards in a game this season or a running back not named Audric Estime goes over 100 rushing yards in a game? * With Notre Dame sitting at two losses with four games to go, there have been several Irish fans saying Steve Angeli needs to get more meaningful reps. Do we Buy or Sell that? * New York Post sports media columnist Andrew Marchand is the latest to sound off on NBC's Notre Dame football TV booth. We hear his comments and react.  * Thoughts on Ohio State fans who were in a tizzy last weekend because they had to pay for Peacock to watch the Buckeyes play Purdue. * Fill-in the blank: It’s BLANK that former Chicago Cub Kyle Schwarber belted two more home runs for the Phillies Tuesday night to give him 18 career postseason home runs...which ties him with Reggie Jackson got for the most ever by a left-handed batter.

Rapid Fire topics include: * What's the concern level with Notre Dame's offense after scoring a combined 35 points against Ohio State and Duke? * NC State is changing quarterbacks, going from Brennan Armstrong to MJ Morris. Does it change the way you feel about Notre Dame’s win over the Wolfpack? * Isaiah Foskey led the Irish with 11 sacks last season. Do you Buy or Sell Notre Dame’s top two sack leaders combining for at least that many by the time this season is over? * Alabama plays Texas A&M this weekend and will also face Arkansas and Tennessee this month. A loss to any of those teams would give Nick Saban two losses before the end of October for the first time since his first season in 2007. Do you Buy or Sell Alabama winning all three of those games? * Fill-in the blank: It’s BLANK that Deion Sanders says he wouldn’t want a lifetime contract if Colorado offered it. * Fill-in the blank: The Chase Claypool situation with the Chicago Bears is BLANK.  * Thoughts on Pat McAfee on College Game Day going after Washington State fans.  * Paul Burmeister's Notre Dame radio calls. * Why pay big time game announcers so much money?

Notre Dame Has Some Interesting QB Decisions To Make - Mailbag

Notre Dame knows who its quarterback is for 2023, but after that things get a little fuzzy. Does Notre Dame go back to the portal again in 2024, or do they develop the quarterbacks they have, especially with CJ Carr coming into the program in the spring. I discuss this topic as the final portion of the Midweek Rundown. That is followed by a brief mailbag.

Will Notre Dame Be A Strong Second Half Of The Season Team In 2023

The first half of Marcus Freeman's tenure at Notre Dame didn't go very well. The Irish went 3-3 to open his career as the Irish head coach, and it included bad losses to Stanford and Marshall, but Notre Dame was much, much better in the second half of the season. As we enter the second half of his second season, we're left to wonder, will the Irish again make a much bigger jump in the second half of the season? If they do, the Fighting Irish will be very, very good.

The 2024 recruiting class for Notre Dame is nearly completed but there are still some key players, and positions, to keep an eye on. Ryan Roberts highlights a couple targets who visited for Ohio State and positions to keep a close eye on. Chicago, and the state of Illinois in general, are very important for Notre Dame recruiting in the 2025 class. The staff recently got a commitment from Elmhurst (Ill.) York defensive end Joseph Reiff, to finally get on the board. This will hopefully begin a string of success for the rest of the cycle in the area. Learn more about your ad choices.

IB Countdown To Kickoff - Notre Dame vs Central Michigan

Notre Dame and Central Michigan go head to head on Saturday at Notre Dame Stadium in Notre Dame's second home game of the season and Irish Breakdown has the preview. We start with the significance of last week's win over NC State and ND's 29-game ACC regular season winning streak, Sam Hartman's 2-minute drill prowess and Marcus Freeman's growth as a head coach in a short amount of time. We then turn to the first ever meeting with Jim McElwain's Central Michigan Chippewas and discuss what Notre Dame's plan at linebacker will be without captain JD Bertrand. We take a whiteboard look at what Notre Dame's offensive plan could look like and when some of the reserves could see the field.

Rapid Fire: Tobias Merriweather And Deion Colzie's Snaps, How Good Is Sam Hartman, NBC NIL Initiative

Irish Breakdown discusses several Notre Dame football topics, starting with a listener question about whether Tobias Merriweather and Deion Colzie's receiver snap counts could change. * Do you Buy or Sell Sam Hartman as Notre Dame’s best quarterback since Joe Montana? * Fill-in the blank....It’s BLANK that when Jack Kiser spoke with the media after yesterday’s practice. He said starters sat in first class for their flight to and from Dublin while Marcus Freeman at in economy while Sam Hartman gave up his first class seat to Holden Staes on the flight home. * Thoughts on a Notre Dame NIL initiative that was started by NBC Sports.  * A bar in Green Bay, Wisconsin is going to pick up the tab on some NY Jets games this season. If you arrive 15 minutes early... open the bar tab and stay for the entire game that Aaron Rodgers starts for the Jets...they’re going to pick up your tab if the Jets lose. Who’s going to come out on top? * AMC Theaters is partnering with ESPN to show 75 ACC football games and the NY Six bowls this season.

Rapid Fire starts with some comments from Marcus Freeman. * Freeman likes the play of his defensive line.

Rapid Fire: Marcus Freeman's Free Passes, Logan Saldate, Tyler Buchner, Brian Kelly, Lane Kiffin

Irish Breakdown has plenty of Notre Dame football talk heading into the final weekend before the Irish open fall training camp. Today's show starts with thoughts on Friday's commitment of California wide receiver Logan Saldate to the Irish.  Other topics include: * Lane Kiffin comments from SEC Media Days. * Irish women's basketball players Hannah Hidalgo and Cassandre Prosper at the U19 World Cup in Spain.  a discussion on if Marcus Freeman used up all of his "free passes" with last season's upset losses to Marshall and Stanford.  * If Tyler Buchner doesn’t win the starting job at Alabama...do you Buy or Sell that him leaving Notre Dame is better off for the Fighting Irish in the long term? * If you could put on a 'Mission Impossible' mask to look and sound exactly like someone else, what Notre Dame football player or coach would you pick? * It’s been more than a year and a half since Brian Kelly left Notre Dame for LSU and he keeps getting questions about comparisons between the two. Which is more true: It’s time for the questions to end or it’s time for Kelly to stop answering them? * Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff said today that his conference is the strongest it’s been in two decades. * The sale of the Washington Commanders is official and there’s a report that the new ownership could change the name of the team. Do we Buy or Sell that they should? * Nick Saban and his wife recently went on a trip to Italy that was a 50th anniversary gift to them. Do you have any friends or family who would gift you a trip like that? * Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen says the Big Mac is the best fast food burger. Do we Buy or Sell that?  *We take a few listener questions on the Irish as well.

Rapid Fire: Sam Hartman vs Tyler Buchner Scenario, Brian Kelly's Phantom Fandom, Audric Estime, Zack Martin

We start Rapid Fire with thoughts on how differently we would feel about Notre Dame’s upcoming season if Tyler Buchner was still the Irish quarterback and Sam Hartman had never transferred to Notre Dame. Other topics include: * Thoughts on Brian Kelly's recent comments that he couldn't be a 'fan' when he was at Notre Dame, but he can be at LSU. * Audric Estime averaged 5.9 yards per carry last season. What will his average be this season? * Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that on the same day former Notre Dame and current Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Zack Martin earned the coveted Madden 99 rating there were reports that he might not report to training camp next week until he gets a new contract. * Bill Belichick is reportedly on the hot seat in New England if he doesn’t make the playoffs this year, while there’s talk that his longtime friend Nick Saban’s legacy could be tarnished if Alabama misses the College Football Playoff this year. Which do we think has more legitimacy to it? * If Belichick does end up on the outside with the Patriots and the Dallas Cowboys don't at least get to the NFC Championship game, on a scale of 1 to 10...how strongly do we feel Jerry Jones would go after Belichick?

Rapid Fire: Marcus Freeman's Ireland Plan, Is Notre Dame's Gap Closing, Venables Rips Deion Sanders

We start Rapid Fire by discussing comments from Marcus Freeman when told the NFL Network that he and his family took a red eye flight back from Hawaii to South Bend and he used it to get a feel for what he and his team will go through when the Irish go to Ireland to open the season. How much do we think it will help? Other topics include: * Brian Kelly was asked at SEC Media Days if he’s closing the gap with Georgia since he’s been at LSU and his answer “No it’s not”. So let me ask you this...has Notre Dame’s gap closed since Marcus Freeman has been head coach? * Should college football have a relegation system? * Thoughts on the SEC announcing it will hold its football media days in Dallas next year, which coincides with Texas and Oklahoma’s move to the conference. * This is going to be the final season for Texas and Oklahoma in the Big 12 and for USC and UCLA in the Pac 12 as they get set to join new conferences next year. When you look at the value of schools joining new conferences, is market size or the brand of the school more important? * Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables took a shot at new Colorado head coach Deion Sanders at Big 12 media days. “I was unlike Deion. I gave guys 12 months of grace to figure it out.”. Are Venables’ comments Fair or Foul? * Thoughts on Richard Sherman as a candidate to join Skip Bayless on the FS1 debate show 'Undisputed'.

Notre Dame Running Back Room Has A Chance To Be Special In 2023

Our preseason breakdown of the Notre Dame position groups moves onto the running backs. Despite the loss of Logan Diggs to LSU and Chris Tyree to wide receiver, the 2023 running backs could be even better. That, of course, depends on improved play from some unproven players.

Rapid Fire: Top All Time Notre Dame Football Players, Irish In New York, Freeman On The Mound

Former Notre Dame cornerback Julian Love was a guest host on NFL Network's 'Good Morning Football' this week and he gave his top five all-time Notre Dame players while he was there. We start today's show with our own top five all time Notre Dame players.  Other topics include: * Marcus Freeman and some Irish players doing a New York media blitz that includes throwing out the first pitch at a New York Mets game Friday night.  * The Oklahoma - Oklahoma State 'Bedlam Series' is going to go away next year when the Sooners leave for the SEC. Is it good for college football if rivalries like this are falling by the wayside due to conference realignment? * Big 12 Deputy Commissioner Tim Weiser had some interesting things to say about Texas and Oklahoma leaving for the SEC. We have thoughts on that.  * The ACC has reached a TV deal with a new provider. We discuss that.  * The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to wear their creamsicle throwback uniforms later this season. * Several former players like JJ Watt and Mark Ingram III will be working in TV this year.

Rapid Fire: Sam Hartman Touchdowns And Interceptions, Junior Tuihalamaka, Jim Harbaugh's Practice Plan

Rapid Fire starts with discussion on if we would be more surprised if Sam Hartman throws 40 touchdown passes or if he throws 15 interceptions this season.  Other topics include: * With 44 days to go until Notre Dame opens the season against Navy, we debate how many sacks and tackles for loss Irish No. 44 Junior Tuihalamaka will have this season.  * Jim Harbaugh created a unique practice schedule when he took over at Michigan a few years back. Could Notre Dame use the same format to speed the offseason progress of its young and inexperienced quarterbacks next spring? * The MLB Players Association wants the pitch clock rules loosened so they have more time between pitches and the ability to step off the rubber more in the postseason. Do we Buy or Sell that? * The NFL has told the New York Jets that they’re going to be the HBO Hard Knocks team this season. Meanwhile, Netflix just dropped a series called Quarterback...which followed Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariotta throughout last season. Which of those are we more interested in?  * Jerry Jones just sold the rights to a docuseries to Netflix for just under $50 million, It’s going to focus on the Cowboys rise to prominence in the early ‘90s and has already drawn comparisons to The Last Dance. On a scale of 1 to 10 how much are we looking forward to seeing it?  Shop for Irish Breakdown gear at our online store: https://store.irishbreakdown.com Join the Irish Breakdown premium message board: https://boards.irishbreakdown.com Stay locked into Irish Breakdown for all the latest news and analysis about Notre Dame: https://www.irishbreakdown.com Subscribe to the Irish Breakdown podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Rapid Fire: CJ Carr's Ranking, An Audric Estime, Sam Hartman, Notre Dame Apparel

Rapid Fire starts with thoughts on Notre Dame commit CJ Carr falling in one of the latest recruiting rankings.  Other topics include: * Thoughts on CBS Sports saying this could be a breakout season for Irish running back Audric Estime.  *Would 4,000 passing yards from Sam Hartman or 1,500 rushing yards from Estime be better for Notre Dame this season? *Notre Dame apparel deal thoughts * Which would be harder to stomach: Brian Kelly winning a national championship at LSU or Tommy Rees helps Alabama win a national championship? * The Kansas City Chiefs are the favorites in Vegas to repeat as Super Bowl champions and the Georgia Bulldogs are the favorites to win another college football title. Would you bet on either to win it all or would you take the field? * David Ross got ejected in the first inning of the Cubs’ game against the Yankees Sunday in their last game before the All Star break. We discuss the censored version of what Ross said to get him tossed.  Shop for Irish Breakdown gear at our online store: https://store.irishbreakdown.com Join the Irish Breakdown premium message board: https://boards.irishbreakdown.com Stay locked into Irish Breakdown for all the latest news and analysis about Notre Dame: https://www.irishbreakdown.com Subscribe to the Irish Breakdown podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Rapid Fire: Ohio State Sea Of Red Concerns, Sam Hartman Props, Hartman Passing Impact

Which are you more concerned about right now: Notre Dame losing to Navy in the season opener or a sea of red inside Notre Dame Stadium when Ohio State visits on September 23rd? That's what we start today's show discussing. Other topics include: * Fan Duel Over/Unders for Sam Hartman this season are 26.5 touchdown passes and 2,950.5 passing yards. Will he go over or under? * USC's Caleb Williams has an over/under of 3,450.5 and Drake Maye of North Carolina has an over/under of 3,000.5 yards. Who are we more confident to go over? * Maye also has a touchdown pass over/under of 27.5...which means his TD total is only one more than Sam Hartman and his yardage total is only 50 more yards than Hartman and they both have +1800 Heisman odds...yet Maye is considered the No. 2 QB prospect in next year’s draft and Hartman is an afterthought. What do we make of that? * Interesting chart we saw on Twitter...last season 44% of Notre Dame’s receiving yards were made BEFORE the catch...while 71% of Wake Forest’s yards were before the catch. What do you think it means? * Fill-in the blank...There are 50 days to go until the Irish and Navy open the season in Dublin. Rocco Spindler wears No. 50 and this season is BLANK for Spindler. * In the wake of several NFL players being suspended for inappropriate gambling a fairly prominent NFL pundit says players should be allowed to bet on their team to win. I won’t tell you who the guy is to avoid prejudicing you. But do you Buy or Sell players being allowed to put a wager on their team to win a game and nothing else? * Joey Chestnut has won eight straight hot dog eating contests. Who’s the all-time equivalent of Chestnut in each sport (players not coaches)? * Here’s what Eagles QB Jalen Hurts had to say about Dak Prescott: “He’s a hell of an athlete. A great leader of men on and off the field. It’s really the media who wants to paint him as a villain. I model my game off him, what he’s doing is special, by far the best QB in the NFC. Arguably a top 5 QB now.” Our thoughts on Hurts saying the media paints Prescott as a villain.

Other topics include: * Fill-in the blank: After going 4-0 against ACC opponents last season, Notre Dame has won 28 consecutive regular-season games against the ACC. It would be BLANK if the streak ends this season. * Fill-in the blank: 247 Sports projects Notre Dame to play Oregon in a NY6 bowl.

As a fan, which would you take over the next 30 years? * College baseball’s Golden Spikes Award winner, baseball’s Heisman equivalent, was announced minutes before game two of the CWS Finals yesterday.

Rapid Fire: Notre Dame Football Talent Rising, Should Irish Play Rivals Abroad, Much More

We start today's show by discussing the confidence Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman has in the talent on his roster and what it means for the Irish. Other topics include: *The Cubs and Cardinals are playing in London this weekend. Notre Dame and Navy are playing in Dublin in August. Would you Buy or Sell Notre Dame playing a bigger rival like USC or Michigan overseas in the future?  *The San Francisco 49ers and Michigan Wolverines each currently have +1000 odds to win their respective championships (Super Bowl and National Championship) this season. Which team would we be more willing to wage $100 to win it all?   *The NBA Draft was last night and the MLB Draft is about two weeks away. Does your combined interest in those two drafts equal your interest in the NFL Draft?  *Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that ESPN Radio is cancelling the Keyshawn, JWill and Max morning show.  *Adele recently bought Sylvester Stallone’s house. But the near dealbreaker was Stallone wanted to keep his Rocky statue that he had by his swimming pool. Adele would only buy the house if the statue stayed. Whose statue would you want in your backyard?   *Social media rivals Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk have agreed to face off in a cage match. Would this be even remotely entertaining to watch?    Shop for Irish Breakdown gear at our online store: https://store.irishbreakdown.com Join the Irish Breakdown premium message board: https://boards.irishbreakdown.com Stay locked into Irish Breakdown for all the latest news and analysis about Notre Dame: https://www.irishbreakdown.com Subscribe to the Irish Breakdown podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Can you guess what he had resting on the bill of his hat? * Do you have a team you’re pulling for in the College World Series?

Rapid Fire starts by debating which has the better chance to happen this season: Audric Estime rushes for at least 1,200 yards or one of Notre Dame’s wide receivers tops 900 yards? Other topics include: * Thoughts on Irish safeties coach Chris O'Leary in the wake of safety Paul Menke Jr committing to Duke. *Did former Irish quarterback Phil Jurkovec transfer first to Boston College and then to Pittsburgh just to play against Notre Dame? * Chicago Bears defensive lineman Justin Jones had some choice words on Green Bay Packers fans this week. We share and discuss them.  * Film maker Kevin Smith of Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob fame says there are some classic movies that need a current reboot. One of them is the Bad News Bears. Smith would envisions Kelly Leak (Jackie Earl Haley) and Amanda Wurlitzer (Tatum O'Neal) who are grown ups coaching against each other in the Little League world. Would you watch that? We also have other suggestions for similar reboots.  *A crazy ex-girlfriend story.

It's one thing to have a difference of opinion, but the inconsistent logic is what makes it hard to stomach. It's very clear that it's as much about Notre Dame as it is Hartman.

Rapid Fire: The Jack Swarbrick/Pete Bevaqua Succession Plan, Notre Dame Snubbed Again

Rapid Fire starts with a discussion on Thursday's announcement that Jack Swarbrick will step down as Notre Dame athletic director and NBC Sports chairman and Notre Dame alum Pete Bevaqua will eventually take over. Other topics include: * Fill-in the blank....It’s BLANK that ESPN.com did a ranking of the top 25 schools with the top incoming transfers and freshman combined and Notre Dame is not on the list. * Which sport would you rather see Notre Dame play a home and home series vs Purdue: men’s basketball or football? * Everyone got excited a few weeks ago with the announcement that EA Sports would pay players to use their name, image and likenesses in next year’s return of their college football video game. Now news has come out that the College Football Players Association is urging eligible players to boycott the use of their likeness in the game due to the reported payment of $500 per player. What do you make of this situation? * Baseball’s new pitch clock rules have been pretty well received...but there has been push back as well. Some fans are calling for lower ticket prices because of the shorter game times. Do you Buy or Sell that? * Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that according to the New York Post umpires refer to New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone as "Karen" in their circles.

Other topics include: * Thoughts on Lindy's Magazine projecting Notre Dame to play LSU in the Peach Bowl. * Which conference is most likely to look the same as it does now in five years: The ACC or the Pac-12? * Deion Sanders and his Colorado Buffaloes have a Vegas over/under win total of 3.5.

It prompted former Virginia pitcher turned analyst Stephen Schoch to Tweet "If we’re tossing someone for talking trash he ump should have to announce what was said over the PA. That way we can know if it’s warranted or not." Do we Buy or Sell it?

Rapid Fire: Sam Hartman, Pat Kavanaugh, Julio Cutz During Notre Dame Visit Weekend, Deion Sanders TV Effect

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * Lindy’s Magazine has Sam Hartman among its preseason Heisman Trophy candidates. Is a win over Ohio State a must if Hartman is going to win it? * Thoughts on Notre Dame national championship lacrosse player Pat Kavanaugh saying he's thinking of walking on the Irish football team.  * Thoughts on barber Julio Rodriguez from Julio Cutz setting up shop at Notre Dame over the weekend during official visit weekend.  * Fox TV is going all-in on the Deion Sanders factor with its first two Big Noon kickoff games this season. They open the season with Sanders and Colorado vs TCU and follow that the next week with Colorado vs Nebraska. Do we Buy or Sell the Deion plan as a good plan? * There have been recent rumblings that Colorado could be headed back to the Big 12. Do we Buy or Sell it as a good move? * Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that the Chicago Cubs recently had Billy Williams bobblehead night. But instead of his retired No. 26 they had him wearing No. 1 on the bobblehead.

Rapid Fire: A Bold Irish Hot Take, Post Navy Jet Lag Concerns, And Much More

A national college football writer has a bold hot take on one of Notre Dame's games this season. Should post Navy/Dublin jet lag be a concern for the Irish in week two this season? Other topics include: *Tom Brady has reached agreement with the Raiders to join the team’s ownership group. Should he be allowed to call Raiders games for Fox once he starts his TV career?  *Pat McAfee is soon going to be going to ESPN. He’s had some backlash from some who say he’s selling out by making that move. Is the criticism fair or foul?   *Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that an East Carolina baseball player was ejected from his conference tournament game this week for giving a teammate who had just hit a home run a hot dog during the post home run celebration.  *Notre Dame plays the No. 1 team in the nation Wake Forest in their final ACC Tournament game tonight. NCAA selection Monday is on Memorial Day at noon. On a scale of 1 to 10 what chance are we giving the Irish to make their third straight NCAA appearance?  *The Indy 500 is this weekend. Will you watch?  *Star struck moments where we ran into an athlete or celebrity and froze and either didn’t know what to say or said something crazy.

Rapid Fire: Sam Hartman, Joe Alt, Blake Fisher, Notre Dame Game Times, Transfer Portal Summer Camps

We start Rapid Fire with a discussion on how strongly we think a Notre Dame player other than Joe Alt could be drafted in the first round by an NFL team next year. Other topics include: * Notre Dame's 2023 football schedule has 2:30 and 3:30 game times. Which do we prefer? * Thoughts on schools like BYU, Colorado and Nebraska hosting summer tryout camps for transfer portal players who have not signed with new schools yet.  * Penn State and Michigan State are going to play a prime time game on NBC on Black Friday at Ford Field in Detroit. Playing that game at Ford Field also means Michigan’s state football championship games will have to play played on Saturday and Sunday that weekend rather than Friday and Saturday. Do we like the move? * We give our most overhyped college football teams in 2023. * We predict TCU's record for the season.  Shop for Irish Breakdown gear at our online store: https://store.irishbreakdown.com Join the Irish Breakdown premium message board: https://boards.irishbreakdown.com Stay locked into Irish Breakdown for all the latest news and analysis about Notre Dame: https://www.irishbreakdown.com Subscribe to the Irish Breakdown podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Rapid Fire: Cam Hart's Confidence, Justin Scott, Sam Assaf's Double Duty And GPA, Michael Block's Improbable PGA

We start Rapid Fire by discussing Notre Dame cornerback Cam Hart's confidence in being a "first-round cornerback". * What's our confidence level that Chicago defensive lineman Justin Scott will commit to Notre Dame?  * The academic prowess and commitment of Sam Assaf, who was a walk-on for both the Irish football team as well as the lacrosse team. * We predict Michigan's record for the 2023 season.  * NFL owners tabled the Philadelphia Eagles’ proposal to create a 4th-and-20 alternative to the onside kick. It wasn’t voted down but further discussion is needed. Would you stick with the onside kick or would you favor the 4th and 20 alternative? * Golfer Michael Block's improbable weekend at the PGA Championship. * Some people are calling for a ball/strike challenge system for Major League Baseball where a team would possibly get three challenges and if you get a challenge correct you retain the challenge.

Rapid Fire - Part 1: How Much Will Notre Dame Offense Score, Names On Irish Jerseys, More

We start Rapid Fire with thoughts on ESPN's SP+ projection of how much they predict Notre Dame to score this season. Other topics include: *Should Notre Dame football players have names on the back of their jerseys? *If you had the choice, would you rather they have names on their jerseys or wear green jerseys more often? *The University of Tennessee is looking at building a 12-story boutique hotel that overlooks Neyland Stadium. In addition to the hotel, the school wants to build an entertainment district, filled with restaurants and retail shops and a rooftop bar...all next to their football stadium. If you’ve been to Wrigley Field in the last few years it’s similar to what they have there. Is this something you could see or would want to see Notre Dame do?  *Should Notre Dame stay with Under Armour or go with Nike or Adidas with its next apparel deal?

Rapid Fire: 100 Days To Notre Dame Football, Sam Hartman, Could UConn Move To Big 12, Deion Sanders

We start Rapid Fire with what has us most excited and most concerned about the start of Notre Dame's season, which is exactly 100 days away. Other topics include: * We talked on Wednesday about ESPN’s quarterback tier article that has Sam Hartman in tier 4 with more than 20 quarterbacks ranked ahead of him. So, which quarterbacks would we actually take instead of Hartman right now if we had our choice? * The ACC appears to be nearing a new agreement on revenue distribution that would give a larger share of postseason revenue -- including from a soon-to-expand College Football Playoff -- to the teams that participate in those postseason games rather than dividing all the revenue equally among all conference members. Do we Buy or Sell it? * SI’s Ross Dellenger reported this week that if the Big 12 can’t get the Pac 12 teams its been pursuing to join the conference UConn is next on its wish list. Do you Buy or Sell UConn in the Big 12? * The NFL’s director of broadcasting, Mike North, was on the SI Media Podcast this week. The host, Jimmy Traina, asked him why the Aaron Rodgers-less Green Bay Packers have five prime time games this season. North said in part that it’s because the Packers have a track record of turning inexperienced quarterbacks into winners. We have thoughts on that. * Colorado vs TCU is going to be Fox’s first Big Noon Kickoff game of the season on September 2nd. On a scale of 1 o 10, how much does it move the needle for us ? * Colorado currently has a Vegas over/under win total for this season of 3.5. The Atlanta Falcons win total is 8.5 and the Chicago Bears are at 7.5. Which is more likely to go over?

2023 Is A Pivotal Year For Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame

Marcus Freeman has certainly shaken things up at Notre Dame in many ways, but if he's going to take the program to another level he'll need to prove he can win. That will silence doubters, answer questions on the recruiting trail and give the program the fuel it needs to jump up. Fail to do that in 2023 and things could get a lot more challenging.

Rapid Fire: Logan Diggs To LSU, Marcus Freeman's Value In Notre Dame's Next Apparel Deal

We start Rapid Fire with thoughts on former Notre Dame running back Logan Diggs' announcement that he has transferred to LSU. Other topics include: * Does having Marcus Freeman as head coach increase the value for Notre Dame in its next apparel deal.  * Notre Dame is currently favored by 21.5 in its season opener vs Navy, an 8.5 point underdog vs Ohio State and a 1-point favorite vs USC this season. If we were going to make a three-leg parlay on those three props how would we bet? * Thoughts on Peacock getting the rights to exclusively stream an NFL playoff game in prime time this season. * The Jets are going to host the Dolphins in the NFL’s first Black Friday game the day after Thanksgiving this season and they are interested in hosting that game every year. Do we Buy or Sell a permanent host for that game? * Dan Patrick says Dan Campbell is the most recognizable member of the Detroit Lions. Which other teams is the head coach the first person who comes to mind when you think about them? * The Phoenix Suns fired head coach and Notre Dame alum Monty Williams two years after taking the Suns to the NBA Finals. Philadelphia also just fired Doc Rivers and the Bucks had already canned Mike Budenholzer. Did any of those guys deserve to get the boot? * Thoughts on Joel Embiid's postgame comments after Philadelphia's game seven playoff loss to the Celtics.

We also have a possible nickname for him.  * With four games to go in the regular season, including a 3-game series at Boston College this weekend, we review Notre Dame baseball's NCAA resume.  * The Rams traded this year’s and next year’s first round draft picks to get Matt Stafford. They won the Super Bowl last year, but they stunk this year. Was the trade off for a championship worth the cost of what they gave up to get it? * Thoughts on Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields having the 9th best selling jersey among NFL players this season. * We also discuss a questionable question ESPN's Karl Ravech had for a player during an in game interview Sunday night.  Shop for Irish Breakdown gear at our online store: https://store.irishbreakdown.com Join the Irish Breakdown premium message board: https://boards.irishbreakdown.com Stay locked into Irish Breakdown for all the latest news and analysis about Notre Dame: https://www.irishbreakdown.com Subscribe to the Irish Breakdown podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

As the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Chiefs will open the season with a Thursday night game. They’ll get to host that game and here are their home opponents: Broncos...Chargers... Raiders...Eagles... Bills... Bengals...Dolphins...Bears...and Lions. Which of those teams do you want them to open against? * The NCAA is considering a change to the college basketball charging rule.

If he passes for a little over 4,100 yards he’ll have the second-most yards ever. He is also 45 touchdown passes shy of the all-time FBS record. Do we Buy or Sell an asterisks for him if he achieves either of those milestones, considering this is his sixth season of eligibility? * College football teams are not generally in the position to retire numbers. But if you have an outgoing player like Michael Mayer would we Buy or Sell making his jersey number unavailable for at least one year after he’s gone? * Former Notre Dame receiver Chris Finke Tweeted recently that transfer portal players should play their own spring game with coaches from recently fired staffs coaching the game and then broadcast it in prime time. Do we Buy or Sell the idea? * Haley Van Lith has an NIL deal with Adidas but after transferring from Louisville to LSU, which is a Nike school, she won’t be allowed to wear Adidas shoes during games. Should college athletes be allowed to wear the shoe brand of their choice in games given the current NIL landscape? * Alabama baseball coach Brad Bohannon was fired today after a gambling scandal that involved bets on a game his team lost. We have thoughts on that.  * If you were going to bet against one MLB team in every game the rest of the season with the goal of making the most money at the end of the season which team would you pick? * Snoop Dogg is in on a bid to buy the Ottawa Senators. If you could own a professional sports team which sport would you choose? * We also have news on graduate transfer Becky Obinma, who is Notre Dame women's basketball's newest member.  Shop for Irish Breakdown gear at our online store: https://store.irishbreakdown.com Join the Irish Breakdown premium message board: https://boards.irishbreakdown.com Stay locked into Irish Breakdown for all the latest news and analysis about Notre Dame: https://www.irishbreakdown.com Subscribe to the Irish Breakdown podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Rapid Fire: Joe Rudolph And Zeke Correll On The Blitzing Irish Defense, More Weekend Topics

We start by discussing comments from Notre Dame offensive line coach Joe Rudolph and center Zeke Correll about all the blitzing the Irish defense has done this spring. What does it mean for both the offense and the defense? Other topics include: *The CW has emerged as a possible landing spot for part of the Pac-12's TV rights. Do you Buy or Sell it as a good spot for Pac-12 football?   *The USFL makes its second season debut this weekend, meaning there will be head to head competition for the first time with the XFL. Will you watch either, neither or both?   *Demar Derozen’s daughter screamed every time a Toronto Raptor shot a free throw the other night in the Bulls’ play-in game win over Toronto, who shot just 18 of 36 at the line in their loss. Solid strategy or shrill annoyance?   *What’s the most annoying thing you’ve seen or heard at a sporting event?   *Fill-in the blank: It’s BLANK that the Cavinder twins are leaving a remaining year of college basketball behind after a year at Miami to possibly join the WWE.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Rapid Fire: Does Notre Dame Or LSU Win A Title First, Brian Kelly's Excuse For Leaving Notre Dame, NFL Sunday Ticket

We start Rapid Fire by discussing if Marcus Freeman is going to win a national championship at Notre Dame before Brian Kelly wins one at LSU. Other topics include: * Brian Kelly says it's "overblown" that he left Notre Dame for LSU when the Irish were in the middle of a hunt for a College Football Playoff spot. Fair or BS? * NFL Sunday Ticket is leaving DirecTV for YouTubeTV and they've released their pricing for packages. Get ready for sticker shock! * MLB’s new pitch clock has cut about a half an hour off game times this season and that’s led to an unintended consequence...beer sales dropping in ballparks. So a few teams have extended their beer sales until the 8th inning rather than the seventh...where beer has customarily been cut off. Do you Buy or Sell extending beer sales into the 8th? * Should Major League Baseball expand and if they do, the expansion city options are Las Vegas, Portland, Nashville, Montreal, Charlotte, and Salt Lake City. Which of those two cities would you want teams in? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We start by discussing what Notre Dame's top spring football priority should be. We have other topics as well, including: * If I told you Marcus Freeman will be as successful over the next two seasons as Niele Ivey has been over her last two seasons...what does that look like for Freeman? * Mets closer Edwin Diaz blew out his knee while celebrating a World Baseball Classic win last week and Astros second baseman Jose Altuve also suffered a fractured thumb during the WBC. A lot of people are saying they shouldn’t be playing it. Which option do you like better...keep it where it is...move it to November or get rid of it? * Today is March 21st . If you’ve seen the Purge movies you know that’s the annual day of "The Purge". If you could purge one thing from sports what would it be? * Doug Gottleib says he would leave his radio job for the right college basketball head coaching position. Who would you rather have...Gottleib or Fairleigh Dickinson head coach Tobin Anderson (Side note: Anderson has already reportedly been hired by Iona)? * Fill-in the blank: It’s BLANK that women’s No. 1 seeds Stanford and Indiana both lost in the second round of the tournament. * Miami guard Destiny Hardin dropped an F bomb live on ESPN2 last night after beating Indiana.

Rapid Fire: Gino Guidugli, Brian Mason, Joe Rudolph, Nick Saban, Bears Draft Choices

We start Rapid Fire with what we are most looking forward to with Notre Dame's 2023 football season. Other topics include: *Does Notre Dame hiring Gino Guidugli and Joe Rudolph outweigh losing Brian Mason?   *Fill-in the blanks...Notre Dame men’s basketball opens ACC Tournament play tonight against Virginia Tech. It would be BLANK if they win two games to advance to the tournament quarterfinals and BLANK if they win three games to make it to the semifinals Friday night.   *Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles is confident he can get first round draft picks in both 2024 and 2025 in a trade for the Bears No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft. The Colts are one of the teams in desperate need of a franchise quarterback. Would you want your team to give up those picks to move up three spots to the top of the draft?   *The NCAA’s rules committee has recommended the adoption of three rules changes for the upcoming season. The biggest change is a running clock after first downs...with the exception of the last two minutes of each half. Do you Buy or Sell it?  *The SEC is looking at the possibility of playing a 9-game conference schedule with no divisions once Oklahoma and Texas join the conference. If they do that they would play three permanent rivals every year and rotate the other six opponents. Alabama’s three perennial teams would be LSU...Auburn and Tennessee.  Nick Saban isn’t happy with that. He says ”If you play more games I think you have to get the three fixed opponents right. They’re giving us Tennessee, Auburn and LSU. I don’t know how they come to that decision.” Are his complaints Fair or Foul?  *Rich Eisen said on his radio show that he’s heard Tom Brady could un-retire for a second straight year.

Other topics include: *Notre Dame offensive coordinator Gerad Parker's time at West Virginia and what it says that his successor, Graham Harrell, only spent one season there before leaving to coach at Purdue. *Fill-in the blank...Mike Brey’s last home game as Notre Dame’s head coach will be next week when the Irish host Pittsburgh....and it’s BLANK that Notre Dame is currently selling tickets at 2 for $10 in the upper bowl and 2 for $20 in the lower bowl.   *ESPN college basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla had an interesting recent Tweet. He said “Given how well the covid 5th year of eligibility worked out for college basketball...let’s award players who graduate in four years and extra season. It makes sport stronger...insures higher graduation rates and post graduate opportunities and combats the one and done teams with NIL cash.” Do you Buy or Sell Fraschilla’s idea?  *Instant replay during XFL games is handled differently than NFL or college football games. During the XFL broadcast....they have a camera in the replay booth with the replay official mic’d up so you can see and hear what they’re looking at. Do you Buy or Sell the NFL and/or college doing the same?  *A report from Andrew Marchand of the NY Post says Apple TV+ has emerged as a potential landing spot for Pac 12 football TV rights. Would being exclusively on a streaming service be better for the Pac 12 or Apple?  *If we could be one famous "Knight" which knight would it be? Learn more about your ad choices.

Rapid Fire: Tommy Rees Leaves For Alabama, Julian Love, Drew Brees, Tom Brady

Tommy Rees has accepted the offensive coordinator position at Alabama. We react to the news. Some of the angles we cover include: *Is leaving Notre Dame for the same position at Alabama a good move for Rees? *What does Rees leaving mean for Irish head coach Marcus Freeman? *Is Rees leaving a bad look for Notre Dame? *Who are some potential offensive coordinator candidates for the Fighting Irish? We discuss other topics as well: *Former Notre Dame cornerback Julian Love, now of the New York Giants, has made waves after making comments about Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni. *Former Notre Dame QB Drew Pyne’s going to have some company at Arizona State. Jaden Rashada committed to the Sun Devils this week. Rashada is the No. 31 high school prospect in the country and originally signed with Florida in the early signing period, but was released from his letter of intent last month because a Florida collective had promised him a $13.5 million dollar NIL deal that they couldn’t come through on. We discuss it all. *And now that Tom Brady is retired, he has a 10-year $375 million dollar contract to start working for Fox. Meanwhile, Greg Olsen is going to call the Super Bowl next week in Fox’s No. 1 TV booth with Kevin Burkhardt. So, what should Fox do with Brady and Olsen next season?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Notre Dame Needs Much Better Linebacker Play in 2023

Linebacker was expected to be one of the better parts of the defense in 2022, but it never panned out that way. The unit was inconsistent, and at times was the weak link on the defense. If the Irish are going to field a championship defense in 2023 the unit must play much, much better.

On paper it looks like BYU could be the only real test, but North Carolina could be a surprise, and we have to ask if Stanford finally bounces back.

Talking NCAA's NIL Guidelines, Fixing The Transfer Portal Problems

This week the NCAA released new "guidelines" to address the abuses of the name, image and likeness legislation that has become rampant in college football. It would appear the NCAA was caught off guard by what has become of the NIL and the transfer portal being opened up at the same time, although the results should have been obvious. In our latest podcast we discuss the new NCAA guidelines. We go over the release, the reason behind the new guidelines, what they are trying to address and whether or not the guidelines will accomplish anything. Was this meant to actually fix the problem, or is the NCAA looking to just save face? We discuss that as well before diving into a deeper conversation about how the NCAA can and should fix the transfer portal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Latest With Notre Dame Defensive And Offensive Line Recruiting

Notre Dame coaches are on the road this week seeing many of their top prospects, and there is plenty of news from the recruiting trail. In our latest podcast we discussed the latest with Notre Dame offensive line and defensive line recruiting. At the beginning of the show we discussed the pending announcement from offensive lineman Austin Siereveld, who committed to Ohio State after the show concluded. That was followed by a breakout of where things stand with offensive linemen Sullivan Absher, Monroe Freeling and Elijah Paige, three talented blockers on the board for Notre Dame. Next we spend a lot of time talking about defensive line recruiting. With three Top 100 defensive linemen already on board (Keon Keeley, Brenan Vernon, Boubacar Traore), Notre Dame has been able to zero in on two more top targets that the staff would love to add to the class. The reality is Notre Dame has a chance to land its "dream class" along the defensive line. For that to happen Notre Dame must be able to close on defensive tackle Devan Houstan and defensive end Jason Moore, a pair of players from the Maryland/DC area. We break down where things stand with both players, why both players are so important and what it would mean for Notre Dame to add both players to the board, if they can make it happen. We also spent a lot of time discussing why having success in the Maryland/DC area is so important for Notre Dame now and in the future. Learn more about your ad choices.

Notre Dame Corners Need A Big Spring

Notre Dame's cornerback play was a bit erratic in 2021, with the unit playing quite well at times and struggling to limit big plays in other games.

Notre Dame Linebackers Must Show Improvement This Spring

Notre Dame had solid linebacker play in 2021, but the unit as a whole didn't play to the level needed to have an elite defense. Moving forward there is no doubt the unit must get better, especially the play of the inside linebackers. The good news, however, is that Notre Dame's 2022 linebacker depth chart should be longer, more athletic and potentially more productive than it was in recent seasons.

Ranking The New Notre Dame Coaches Based On Toughest Jobs

I don't think head coach Marcus Freeman anticipated needing to make seven hires when he was first named as the top man at Notre Dame, but that's ultimately what happened.

All seven coaches will play a very important roles for Notre Dame moving forward, but some coaches have a bit more challenging and/or important immediate tasks when looking at the 2022 season.  That was the topic of conversation for us in our latest Irish Breakdown podcast.

Offseason Preview - Notre Dame Linebacker Play Must Get Better

Notre Dame has yet to hire a defensive coordinator, which in turn means the Irish don't yet have a linebackers coach. Whoever gets that job, or those jobs (depending on who is hired as the coordinator) has an important task. That task is getting the Notre Dame linebackers to play at a much higher level in 2022 than it did last season. Notre Dame must replace captain and three-year starter Drew White, two rovers and Shayne Simon (who started in 2020), but the unit returns a great deal of talent.

Notre Dame enters the offseason in an interesting position at wide receiver. The Irish will have a new position coach, which is a positive. It must replace its leading receiver and two of its veterans are coming off major knee injuries. There is talent returning, but there are also major questions about the position and how it will impact the offense. We talk about the need to get the receivers playing fundamentally sound football, something that has been lacking for several seasons. Will that change with a new coach?

Two-Year Grades For Notre Dame's Defensive Recruiting

Notre Dame is basically done when it comes to recruiting defense in the 2022 class, and it was an outstanding class. The Irish hit home runs in the front seven and at cornerback, and the class added a boost in length, athleticism and depth. Notre Dame overcame some of the weaknesses of previous classes and built on last year's recruiting strength. When you look at the defensive recruiting from a two-year look the roster clearly got better. We go position-by-position and hand out grades for the Fighting Irish defense.

Two-Year Grades For Notre Dame's Offensive Recruiting

Notre Dame will try to add to its 2022 class in February, but as it stands right now the Irish are close to being done. When looking at the team's success on the recruiting trail we like to look at how Notre Dame stacks up classes in consecutive classes. Although Notre Dame's defense clearly had the stronger haul in the 2022 class, a case could be made that it was the Notre Dame offense that shined when looking at recruiting from a two-year look.

Latest On Notre Dame Recruiting For 2022 and 2023 Classes

Notre Dame's coaching staff has been out on the road all week, which makes sense considering the early signing period for the 2022 class begins in less than a week.  In our latest podcast we break down the latest intel we've received about the Notre Dame recruiting efforts.  We spend a lot of time at the beginning talking about safety recruiting. During that part of the breakdown we talk about the loss of Xavier Nwankpa, why the Notre Dame staff hasn't pushed to get more safeties in the 2022 class in the fold, why the moves made on the current roster during the season impacted that and then we talk about the very, very talented 2023 safeties on the board, including current 2023 commit Adon Shuler. We then talk about the 2022 class, including the latest intel we've gathered in regards to Notre Dame commits that have wavered (CJ Williams, Amorion Walker) and who have already decommitted (Devin Moore). We also discuss the possibility that Notre Dame could pick up two more commitments over the next few days. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Five Keys To Marcus Freeman Building A Championship Program At Notre Dame

Marcus Freeman wasn't hired to continue what Brian Kelly accomplished at Notre Dame. Kelly brought stability in many ways, but his inability to win big games and a true title contender will tarnish his legacy just as much as his ugly departure. Freeman was hired to do what Kelly could not, win a championship. It's his job to build on the positive aspects of the program, enhance the areas where Kelly was limited and to take the program to levels Kelly never could. There are five keys to making that happen, and we break them all down in our latest podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Notre Dame Football Mailbag

Our weekly Notre Dame Football Mailbag was outstanding this week as Irish Breakdown listeners asked a ton of great questions! We covered a wide array of topics about the 2021 Irish football team, we talked plenty about recruiting, we talked past Notre Dame players and even got into some topics on music. Here are just some of the topics we discussed in today's show. *** We kick things off with a discussion of whether or not the Notre Dame defense might experience some growing pains early in the season, if the Irish offense is good enough to carry the team should that happen, and how long any offensive growing mights should exist when the season starts. *** Next we talked hypotheticals, and the question was about the 2015 team with Marcus Freeman leading the way or a 2018 Irish squad that had Brady Quinn at quarterback. *** Marcus Freeman being the eventual replacement for Brian Kelly is also a major topic of conversation, and we discussed how to make that work in a way that keeps Freeman around at Notre Dame until Kelly is ready to step aside and maintaining continuity and unity in the program. *** What former Notre Dame player not named Raghib Ismail would be the bigger star in the modern game .... this was a question we got and it was excellent! *** We talked about the Irish wide receivers at different points in the show. *** Notre Dame's need to upgrade the nutrition programs, and the steps the program has taken to do so, was a topic of conversation. *** We talked about offensive lineman Ashton Craig, who is now a Notre Dame commit! *** We also discussed wide receiver recruiting quite a bit. I lay out my reasons why I'm frustrated with the current recruiting at the position, what those concerns mean for the future, but also how those concerns could be unjustified and how the current recruiting could be more about the makeup of the 2022 class nationally and who the Irish are pursuing in the 2023 class.

Notre Dame Is A Sneaky National Title Contender In 2021

Notre Dame competing for a national title is about what the Irish program is all about, but it can also benefit when circumstances around the country are right. That is the case for Notre Dame in 2021. Yes, the Irish have their own personnel losses, but the returning roster plus the arrival of transfer quarterback Jack Coan has Notre Dame poised to be even better this season. Other programs like Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State suffered even greater losses, especially at quarterback. All of that is why Irish Breakdown believes Notre Dame should be considered a legitimate contender for a title in 2021, assuming the Irish coaches can get the most out of the program.

Notre Dame Is Expected To Take a Step Back In 2021, But Why?

Notre Dame has gone 33-5 the last three seasons and had earned a pair of college football playoff appearances, but that hasn't stopped national analysts from predicting a drop off. One analyst at ESPN even used his formula to predict a 7-5 season from the Fighting Irish. Some of the reasons for a predicted drop off are understandable, while others show a lack of true understanding of what Notre Dame returns.

Notre Dame Quarterback Depth Chart Overview - Post-Spring

Notre Dame went into the spring with a lot of questions at quarterback, and there are questions about the position coming out of the spring. The difference is the current questions are more positive in nature. In our latest Irish Breakdown podcast we dive into the quarterback depth chart, address those questions and talk about what's next at the position.  We begin the show by quickly going over the concerns we had at the position prior to the spring, and that is followed up by our overall impression of the position post-spring. Notre Dame's quarterback position is deep and talented, but how the depth chart will play out remains to be seen, which is the next part of the conversation. We talk about Jack Coan and what he brings to the offense, the possible role for Tyler Buchner in the offense, Drew Pyne continuing to push for a starting role and the difficulty for Brendon Clark to get back into the quarterback mix. Following the quarterback breakdown we dive into a Q&A session with Irish Breakdown listeners. The quarterback position was a primary topic of conversation, but we also addressed Notre Dame offering Tulsa grad transfer cornerback Akayleb Evans. Learn more about your ad choices.

We also talk about how Williams and other players stepped up and made big-time plays in big moments. 13:00 - We dive into conversation about Boston College, and it begins with a conversation about quarterback Phil Jurkovec. 16:47 - The conversation turns to whether or not Boston College has enough around Jurkovec to upset Notre Dame. 18:15 - Darin asks how I would rank Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson and Notre Dame in the rankings. Of course, I plugged the Irish Breakdown Top 25. 19:23 - Sean asks me about my opinion on the recent comments about Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi's thoughts on Notre Dame joining the ACC.

Irish Breakdown - College Football - Let Them Play

The college football season is at risk. After months of keeping our mouths shut on the topic, it's finally time that Vince DeDario and I (Bryan Driskell) let our voices be heard. In our latest show we discuss why this push to cancel the season, or move the season to the spring, is misguided and based more on emotion, feelings, fear and agendas than it is data and putting young people at greater risk. We talk about the data and science behind the need to let them play, how players are actually at greater risk if they don't play, and what is really driving this push to end the season. And simply saying "Play in the spring" doesn't address anything, because what will change in the next four months? Subscribe to Irish Breakdown on Soundwise Learn more about your ad choices.
