You're listening on this Monday, December 16th, the Irish Illustrated Insider.

I'm Tim Priester with Tim O'Malley.

It is a little bit before we still head out to Orlando when Nordame takes on Iowa State.

And there's not going to be a lot of talk about Iowa State versus Notre Dame today.

I'm not sure that we even had a question about that.

Maybe we did as we look forward to, of course, the play calling and the decision-making on game day with the firing

and or decision by Chip Long to leave Notre Dame.

Handling the offensive coordinator duties will be Tommy Reese and Lance Taylor.

Brian Kelly, of course, will be more involved in that decision-making,

and we do want to get into all of that in this segment and with questions in segment two.

But first, we want to touch upon a couple of other things that echoes

were on Friday night. And then we also have the early signing period this week on Wednesday when

we expect a minimum of 17 and possibly 18 recruits to sign with Notre Dame. First of all, Tim,

let's talk about the echoeses. I was there the

other night. Just some of your thoughts on the award winners. I agree more than I ever have with the

10 years of Brian Kelly's echoes with the award winners. I would flip out. I had Eichenberg over Hainesie

when I did our evaluating the roster. He played 12 games, and Hainesie, of course, has been out since the Duke game in the other name.

Played really good football in November without Hainz.

I think Hainzzi probably would have been our choice had he made it through the year.

Had he made it through the year, yeah.

Boos Krauss-Crowe going to Aquara in eight and a half games. The thing is, you've got to, you know, they're trying to find awards for everybody that's graduating senior,

and you already use Jemir Jones in the right spot and Khalid Karim and, of course, defensive player of the year.
