Today's Rapid Fire topics include:

* Fill-in the blank…It’s BLANK that the Texas Rivals site Orange Bloods is reporting that Irish secondary coach Mike Mickens is one of the top three candidates to fill the Longhorns’ vacant safeties coach position.

* Besides Jeremiyah Love, which Notre Dame player excites you the most. What’s your answer for each side of the ball?

* A proposed rule change intended to discourage players from faking injuries that prompt unwarranted timeouts will be considered when the NCAA Football Rules Committee meets this month. The American Football Coaches Association submitted a proposal that would require a player who goes down on the field and receives medical attention to sit out the rest of that possession. A coach would be able to use a timeout to get the player back on the field during the current possession. A player injured by a hit that results in a penalty would be exempt. Also, the one player on offense and one on defense with a green dot on his helmet, indicating he's allowed to receive radio communication from the sideline, can re-enter after one play. Do you Buy or Sell it?

* Shawn Stiffler is heading into his third season as Notre Dame's baseball coach. What should the expectation for this season be?

* If Patrick Mahomes never plays another game, would you consider him the best QB ever?

* Which is more likely to happen while Mahomes is still playing: The Chiefs get to five more Super Bowls or they never get to another Super Bowl?

* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that the New York Jets are moving on from Aaron Rodgers.
