Thanks guys.

Love the beard Matt

could be a long year or two with Ash. big downgrade

I think Marcus not just promoting Mickens shows he thinks ND has a real chance at a run to the title over the next couple of years. You just can’t take a chance with someone learning on the job. Mickens is young and he is making good money so just sit back and wait for a good opportunity.

Are we sure Sanford “didn’t work out”? I know that team had some huge issues but I didn’t think it was on the offensive side of the ball to be fair

Great show.

Louisville wasn't bad. Handled Clemson pretty well.

Mike Mickens is a great position coach but I don't get all the people making him out to be one of the greatest coaches in the nation worthy of the defensive coordinator position. Just because you are really good at identifying and developing DB's doesn't mean you'll successfully call a defense and make winning in game adjustments like Golden and other great D coordinators can do. Dabo Swinney promoted some position coaches to coordinator positions and almost all of them eventually got fired.

As a fan, anything to get better home games. More than 1 per year, sometimes none. I just doubt the ACC will 1) split them up fairly 2) actually produce a good game for the Irish more than once or twice every 5 years.

What so great about Chad Bowman, is he the one that scouted out Leonard Moore and BenMo, and because we hit with those two low 4-star CBs, he's this visionary personnel guy? Could be. And as far as Mickens goes, if you don't want to hire him, fine. But Chris Ash, that's the veteran guy to fill this plum job opening? He's very similar in profile to Golden, as far as his age and career arc. That's probably what got him the gig. Which if true is not terrible reassuring.

As always, great show! Y’all help me make sense of things when I’m not tuned in 24/7. Not to look too far forward, but 2026 could really be a huge year. Possibly returning an entire offensive line and quarterback, plus so many young guys on defense. Love the shoutout to the women’s team as well! Huge fan of how the coaches from all the teams support each other.

Yes but now Bowden has to live in California with their high taxes high crime and terrible government, plus he went to USC of all places

I think it was Pop Warner, not Walter Camp

Love ya Matt . We will get there one day I know it.

Devonta Smith is in the NFL you mean Caleb Downs...Saban retired. You all know nothing

YES YOU ARE YOU SPENT 20.5 MILLION. Your ad just didnt share the number

How about you join a conference you would have a greater chance. They will take a 10 and 2 team from a conference over a 10 and 2 independent

Cause ohio state can't name your price? You are delusional.

Will Howard has the highest qbr for the whole season. Stuff it with this he isnt good shit

felt like gray was chasing wrs all game. would be wild if no. 20 returns cuz 15 is second only to morrison i mean the guy chased down judkins while being 6'2 we honestly need cj to win the job in the spring and those wrs recruits to emerge for the team to have a genuine shot. it's year 4 im ready for an elite offense. give me '22 LSU mr denbrock it'd be wayyy better than what we've had so far

The fact that they were nowhere near their best (I wholly agree)… and Ohio State played VERY very well… and EVEN WITH so many critical injuries, they still made it a game… man. Freeman’s going to learn from this. Just like he did from the Marshall/Stanford games, just like he did from the NIU game. He’s going to learn that with his coaching style and his players, they can and will win when they stick to their own game. The entire identity of this team was lost in the middle two quarters, and it looked like a team that was outcoached. I thought going into the game that Howard would need to make mistakes for ND to win, and he just flat out didn’t. The Ohio State offensive line was excellent. Meanwhile, Leonard did make mistakes in the first half (seemingly because he was trying not to…?) Missing those short, open throws read to me like a guy trying to aim the ball and avoid a bad interception or something, which resulted in bad throws. He seemed more focused on not making a mistake instead of making the play. His second half was so much better, when it seemed like they said, “to hell with it, just sling it.” He didn’t have a terrible game, but he didn’t play to his expected standards. All I kept thinking is that I wish he had another season because his limitations as a passer seem to be more mental than anything. He didn’t have games with this type of pressure on him at Duke, and I think that showed in the first half. But again, in the second half when there was nothing to lose, he was almost always ON. I just wish we could see him after experiencing this and growing/learning. And when it comes to the defense, there were multiple instances where the fundamentals fell apart, as did the focus. There was confusion and just so many missed assignments and missed spots. The first Jeremiah Smith touchdown, the Judkins run to start the second half (Bowen was very out of position). Who knows if Golden leaving had anything to do with it, but I don’t think that helped (not sure if it affected anything at all, but the reports coming out in the middle of game week make me angry… just wish they’d let in-season coaches finish their years before reporting that they’re probably going to leave). A lot of people keep harping on the rushing attempts, which I understand, but the rushing stats will always look weird when you have to play from that far behind. What I didn’t like was the insistence on rushing Leonard. Yes, that’s a big weapon, but for him to have 17 rushes compared to a combined 7 for both running backs is frustrating. There’s no way Love was healthy. And no touches for Aneyas Williams (I was admittedly up high in the stands and couldn’t always see how much he played). I thought Williams could be an X-factor. I think Denbrock fell in love with Leonard running a bit too much today, and didn’t force the defense to be ready for anything else. And that absolutely showed on first and goal from the 9 when they ran a QB draw against one of the best red zone defenses in football. Frustrating is the word. But this team accomplished so much. What a year, and to win three playoff games (two NY6 bowls) is a testament to the grit and mentality of the team, and to how Freeman has grown. I’m going to miss Leonard. Same with B-Mo and Mills, but it was helpful to see the team without them (and very clearly showed some gaps). And Watts! An incredible story of trusting the process. This was one of my favorite ND teams of all time. It’s incredibly disappointing that they lost the game the way they did by not looking like themselves (and not just because Ohio State made them look that way… much of it seemed self-inflicted). But wow, what a season. Thank you to the seniors, staff, and whole team for an incredible year. Back to work, but I trust Freeman will be the one to bring us a chip. Love thee ☘️

This was a special season and a great run. People should take a step back and enjoy it.

Thx for the great coverage

Buckeye fan, notre dame fought hard no matter what very impressive. Have a lot of respect for them. Freeman is a great coach and will have ND in the championship race every year. Great season guys!

Let’s be honest….the only 2 dynamic athletic offenses USC and OSU gave the ND fits!

Notre Dame MUST recruit better and bigger defensive linemen and be able to stop the run at the line of scrimmage and pressure the QB with 4. What makes now sense is how poorly we ran the ball. With all that being said I love this team and the coaches and I’m excited about the future of this program!

Please stop talking about $20 million roster, ND spent a ton on their roster, this is not 1990. It’s a lame take

OSU‘s receivers were mostly wide-open. I could’ve caught 90% of those passes.

Let’s be honest there was a point there. It could’ve been 50 to 7.

LOVE-4. CARRIES-3 YARDS-PRICE-3 CARRIES-13 YARDS=16 YDS TOTAL OUR RUNNING BACK-PATHETIC….

Good year ND, but it really didn't feel that different from title attemps of past. ND just needs to get elite talent, and until they do they will be bridesmaid. I don't want to hear anyone complain about NIL because this was a $18 million roster. I also don't want to hear excuses about academics. Michigan and Duke have very high academics yet they win in football and college hoops.

Did I hear you say will howard wasn’t as efficient on the ground? Didn’t he run for like 8 or 9 first downs against Notre Dame? All while not getting drug to the ground by 300lb d tackles? That’s being efficient on the ground with a quarterback. Give the team a running threat, run if you have to or to move the chains, keep yourself healthy. Leonard ran the ball 2 more times than Howard for less yards yet Riley Leonard looked like he just got done with 12 rounds with Mike Tyson.

Idk if I can respect this take on notre dames offense. Notre dame never threw the ball enough to even know if they had decent-good receivers. So you’re telling me you have 1 really good WR,TE, and Runningback with space players like faizon & price with a mobile quarterback and that was the best offensive scheme yall could put together???? Be real your OC isn’t up to snuff and ultimately Riley Leonard held this offense back. Leonard should’ve been a gadget taysom hill player for this offense but your coaches didn’t have the courage to do what Nick Saban did in benching Jalen hurts in the natty for tua because that gave them the best chance to win

Thanks for everything guys. Go Irish!!☘️

Terrible podcast episode. Not surprised by professional troll Matt’s negativity but Pete? Shocked and disappointed by his (relentless) negativity. He essentially says that *this* was NDs only/best chance to win a NC. At the same time as Herbstriet (sp) goes on McAfee’s show to say it’s “just getting started at ND.” SMH…

We had to put pressure on Howard in order to win. We did not therefore we lost. Pretty simple...

The question that remains is can notre dame draw the talent to win a national championship? I'm worried that it just won't happen unless things change at notre dame. You have the coach but do you have the money and the system to put together a true national championship team?

TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THE STANCE ON THE FAKE PUNT AND FG ATTEMPT The fake punt worked, Faison just dropped it. And on 4th and 9, definitely kick a fg and take the easy points. Money Mitch just turned back into Mitch the bitch

ND worst performance since NIU game

ND OC and DC called their worst game all year

ND had 22 injuries that played a team with $20 million spent but ND lose by 11 points

If ND can find QB that can stretch the field vertically then the other team can’t hammer scrimmage line

31 unanswered points? First 4 drives = 4 touchdowns? Maybe our defense is not what we thought.....

Then depression set in.

Great Season for both teams. I will totally disagree with your take on Will H. 80% Comp & 2 TD in this game and a year of 4000yrds, 35TD passing, and 7TD rushing also setting and beating CJ Strod OSU season completion record of 73.1% is more than average QB. Tell me what your standard is?

Mike Denbrock's play calling was horrendous following the first series. Game was lost drive 2,3,4 on O for ND. ND's three running backs had 7 carriers between them. Love is by far their best player and he touched the ball 4 times. Its inexcusable. Zero complementary play calling with what Ohio was doing offensively.

Great season for the Irish, and great coverage by you guys. I appreciate your coverage and enjoy your channel. Thanks for your great work covering the Irish

Ohio state played near perfect we didn't. Still a good season. We need more size on the DL. We need more WRs like Greathouse

Notre Dame will not get this easy of a road in the CFP next year - no guarantee they are back here again. Although their schedule will somehow be easier in the regular season which is laughable.

Great game Irish. Your team has guts. You have a great coach and I believe your future is bright! Go Bucks!!!
