All right, Brian, to wrap up today's show here on the Irish Breakdown podcast brought to you by Fanduel.

We have a little daily mailbag coming at you.

And if this, for whatever reason, happens to be your first mailbag, one, welcome, two, the way that you submit a question or a comment, you put MB for mailbag or a little mailbox emoji that lets us know to set the question or comment aside.

And if you want to make sure that yours gets answered, because on daily mailbags, we don't have the time to necessarily get to every single question, give or take, how many are in there. We're going to get to as many as possible. If you want yours answered, make sure you put in a super chat, those get bumped up to the top. And if I remember correctly, Brian, I'm sure we have a couple of been there. We have several already. Yeah. And John Emerson left us to super chat and then also followed

up with a question that we will get to. Thank you, John. Appreciate that, John. When Freeman said

he will spend more time where the quote hat is needed, his way of saying he is that his way of

saying he is going to be more involved with the defense or take it

over without publicly calling out ash it could be that could be his way of doing that um i hope that

that's what he's doing it could also just be coach speak to saying look wherever i'm need because he was

like you know if i need to spend more time of the offense i spend more he could have just given

you coach speak to to to where he can't just say you know, if I need to spend more time of the offense, I'll spend more, he could have just given you coach speak to where he can't just say, you know, guys, like everything is fine. He knows he's going to get crushed for that. It could just be coach speak. But it very well, very well could mean that he's like, look, if I have to do that, then I'll do that. I think it could also be a little bit of a shot across the bout. I'm like, hey, bro, I'm now saying this publicly that if this is what I need to do, I'm going to do. So you better figure some stuff out. You know, and yeah, it could certainly be that. And I don't want or expect Marcus Freeman to come out there and be like, look, Chris Ash is bad hire. I made a mistake and we got to fix it. I don't want to come up. Hey, look, Chris Ash did a bad job because then you undermine his authority with the players. If you go out there in the press conference and you crush Chris Ash the way that I'm crushing Chris Ash right now, he's not my employee. I'm not a coach at Notre Dame. I'm not part of the University of

Notre Dame in any way, shape, form or fashion. I say whatever I want, and it doesn't really have

any influence on the program. What Marcus Freeman says about things does, and if he goes in there

and just hammers Chris Ash in a press conference,

that undercuts his ability to then reach the players.

If you're going to do that, fire him.

Can't do that.

I agree.

But you can, in this sort of subtle way, let it be known if people aren't doing their

job, I'll step in and handle it.

That's totally acceptable.

Totally acceptable.
