All right, Brian, we're going to wrap up today with a mailbag.

And I've been seeing some questions come in throughout the show.

Some very interesting ones that are not even small related.

Very interesting questions of that.

We do. It's the off season, right? It's the time for it.

So we have some interesting questions to get to.

If this is for by chance your first ever mailbag that you participated in, the best way to get a question in, you label it with an MB or a mailbox emoji. That's how Brian and I know that we star it. We set it off to the side so we know when to address it. And then if you want to get your question answered pretty quickly, you can always throw into super chat, those automatically get bumped to the top.

We're going to go for about an hour, about an hour and or until we run out of questions here.

So without further ado, Brian, it's mailbag time, man.

Also, people ask, hey, are you going to talk about the assistant coaches?

As we said, if you guys want to hear our opinions about certain things, you can go and throw that in. But then we kind of, our first question actually is about that. But if you want to hear more about what did you think about this? What did you think about that? Go ahead and throw that in there and we'll talk about it in the mailback. I didn't Benami getting us started. Coach Sider's press conference, two minutes in, and you can see he's a perfect fit for Notre Dame. Sounds just like Coach McCullough. What a great hire. Yeah, I mean, everything we've heard about him is great. I mean, look, if a coach can't sound good in a press conference, you're in trouble, especially guys that are as, as experience as he is.

But I, I kind of felt like, one of the things I loved about Deila McCullough was, there was a

genuineness to him. He was not going to be Escher. He, you know, he was going to tell you what he

thought. And he's someone who, who seemed to really value young people, developing young men.

And that's the sense I got from him. I mean, Tony Alford was that way, Dealin McCull was that way. And I got that vibe from Joanne Sider. Even he's talking about like, look, in the offseason, he said exactly what I, he said it differently, but what have I always said? Once you get to the off season, your decision-making process is about what's best for you, not what's best for your teammates. Look, once the season starts, your priority number one is the team, the team, the team. I'm doing my Bo-Shem-Bekler thing, right? It's the team, the team, the team. But once the off-season starts, it's you've got to make what's the decision that's best for you he talked about that a little bit and and i thought that was good and you know

he started he talked about the running backs but he didn't like take such a deep dive where it felt

like okay they're all locked into those jobs but it looked like he has a good sense of of the

the players and and uh it was, I mean, it was exactly what you hoped you heard from him.

So I liked what he had to say.

I thought it was, I mean, yeah, you're hoping to get a top-notch coach.

I think he did.

Talked about his influences.
