Welcome to Irish Illustrated Insider, brought to you by Seat Geek.

I'm Tim Priestler with Tim O'Malley and Pete Samson.

It's Thursday, January 24th, and it's week two, I guess, of the Nortonian running back search.

Looks like a few people have been eliminated.

Curtis Looper and Charles Huff and Tony Alford, at least as of last week when we were talking about those names, I believe, last Thursday.

And as of right now, with the interview process, I guess still to follow here in the next day or two,

it looks like Mike Hart or Lance Taylor, a name that you unearthed yesterday, Tim.

Former Stanford running back coach has been with the Charlotte, Charlotte of the NFL.

Carolina, I'm sorry, Carolina and in Charlotte.

Where Pete flies from. Which I still right. I drove right by the stadium. I'm sorry. Carolina and in Charlotte. Where Pete flies from California.

Which I still went to go to a bowl game in Charlotte when Notre Dame obviously has a lesser year.

How dare you consider that option?

If and when that ever happens again.

But anyway, it looks like those two.

Thoughts on that, Mike Hart.

I know mixed reactions.

I think he's done a pretty good job of recruiting players.

He did it at Western Michigan.

He did it at, or helping with the process anyway, at Indiana.

Lance Taylor with a fairly buried background. A couple stops in the NFL, I believe.

Thoughts on that, guys?

I mean, I think Mike Hart would be fine.
