Irish Breakdown

Of course, we also had a Rapid Fire following our breakdown of Rudolph. Here are the Rapid Fire topics:

*** Who has more to gain this week at the NFL Scouting Combine …. Michael Mayer or Isaiah Foskey

*** Maryland guard Mason Lunsford tweeted that he was going to visit Notre Dame this week, but the Irish staff nixed that Do you buy or sell that Notre Dame should consider a guard in the transfer portal

*** If you were the Chicago Bears, who would you rather have at quarterback the next 5 years …. Justin Fields or Bryce Young …. I’ll have a follow up on this that will be a surprise :)

*** Major League Baseball adding play clocks makes you feel BLANK

*** BLANK will be the talk of the Notre Dame spring coming out of the spring, player or coach

We discuss several topics, starting with an update on Notre Dame's search for an offensive line coach after Matt Luke decided not to join the Irish staff. Other topics include:

*Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick did a live stream video chat on Thursday and addressed a number of topics. We discuss his thoughts on NIL, the NBC TV contract and Notre Dame football creating a "General Manager" position.

*With the basketball regular season winding down, should Notre Dame point guard Olivia Miles be the ACC Player of the Year?

*ESPN's Tony Kornheiser said on PTI that Rick Pitino could take Notre Dame to a Final Four if he were to be hired by the Irish. We have thoughts on that.

*Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers came out of his darkness retreat this week. He was emerged in total darkness with no phones or anything else. How long do we think we could stay in a room in total darkness? 

*We also have thoughts on the idea of a coach with NFL experience being interested in Notre Dame's offensive line vacancy.
